For being in the moment to try super hard for our own personal gain - a poem
Being timely, successful provides such a lift;
Honoring commitments is truly a gift.
The norms tend to frustrate, or cause us to drift –
One can try hard, create one massive rift…

To know you’re improving is not your one need;
Though once you’ve perfected it, you’ll likely succeed.
Your given expectations, you must strive to exceed –
The sky is the limit, not unfathomable greed…

The truth is a service or name you can trust;
But if memory serves, all books collect dust –
History is replete with those dreams called a must,
Invent from necessity, as boom follows bust!

Failure is frustrating, and easily seen –
Those eying a future of earning their green,
Can remember how futile or long it has been,
To them, mighty angry or despicably mean…

To each meeting or saga, something goes in,
Effort and drive show us how we begin.
Those are shark-infested waters, so eying the fin,
Is the constant rationale, going for the win!

Take what is given, and know it’s a drag,
To leave your possessions or goals in the bag –
For everyone’s conclusions or promise must lag;
A journey’s destination must wear such a tag.

Be forthright in coming, and model this plan;
Everyone will know who can’t and who can –
Conjecture will follow the participant’s scan,
So let conquests be had by each woman and man!
