Hello everyone!
I decided to do a bit of writing today, and I ended up with this poem, which is rather a distillation of some realizations I've had since I started reading SP.com. I call it "See Failure Enough to Succeed":
What would you say
If I said, you died yesterday
And this whole day, you’ve been inside a dream
You’d probably
Laugh and shrug it away
If true, you would not want to believe
What if I proved it?
Beyond a reasonable doubt
Today, what if you’d really withdrawn?
You may shout out
And fall into despair
For all your possibilities gone
~
Lucky for you
That is not the case (yet)
You still have some more time to breathe
You have it all
All the time you will need
To see failure enough to succeed
A wise man said
If you love doing X, do X
Take your talent’s sword out of its sheath
Do what you love
Please develop that skill
And be paid fairly for every deed
When you do that
You help the whole world
And that is precisely what we need
What do you think?
I'm open to suggestions on how to improve it, as well.
