Investment

 

When you spend it or eat it

No matter how vast the fortune

It will be spent and gone forever 

There will be nothing left ever

One Task at a Time

 

Each task like a goal can only be accomplished

If all the eyes are only on this task focused

And the ears are only to this task playing ball

And the legs are there just to score that goal

Never Give Up

 

The only way to reach the destination is to not stop walking 

Under no circumstance should the feet freeze and cut progress

The flying cannot be allowed to stop until the limit of the sky is reached  

By all means must the temptation to stop midway be rejected  

Trying is not enough until every mile of the race is covered 

The excuses and pleas that say enough has been done are liars 

Not one, not two, but numerous steps are made to cover the distance

The Making of Rome

When Great Rome is built, it is not built in a day

It takes a whole day to add just one brick

For one brick to be laid, the sun labors from dawn to dusk

Till the numerous bricks all come together

To give Great Rome its elegance and grace

Learning Without Tiring

 

When you stop learning you are draining

Your value is dipping, you are eroding

The essence in you is wasting and corroding

Your progress is falling, you are declining

The richness in you is waning and fading

Like flies you are dropping and flopping

Make It Happen

 

You see a great mansion now

Where once a void existed

Then it stood only in a mind

In a couple of minds it lived

Till one mind resolved to act

Taking personal responsibility

To lay down the first solitary brick 

And that is how the mansion begun

Try Again

 

Each time you try again

The obscurity becomes clearer

Cracks begin to appear in the colossus

The impossible no longer seems impossible

It begins to settle deep down that it is possible

Baby Step

 

To learn to walk 

A baby step is necessary

To omit a baby step 

Is planning failure at walking, forever

Look No Farther

You are busy searching 

On the bed, under the bed

On the chair, under the chair

On the table, under the table

Until you realize that the keys 

Are in your hands all the while

And you laugh at the jolly folly

There is a Reason

 When your lane is congested and slow

Your eyes and heart are evermore

Envying those on the other lane

That is going in the opposite direction

That is so free and fast in motion

But only by staying put on your lane

And fighting off the temptation

Will the arrival be a revolution

Confidence is Everything

Can a car get anywhere without the driver?

Can the body stand on its feet without the head?

Your confidence is the head and the driver 

What Really Matters

It could be a large seed

Or it could be a tiny seed

It doesn't really matter

Does it grow into a big tree?

That is what really matters

We Will Overcome

Deadly and malignant the bush fire may be

Burning, wrecking and smashing through life 

Reducing the once good moments of elation

To sad ashes that invoke sad streams of tears

Flattening the hopes that were once promising

To a barren wilderness of eternal desolation

Replacing the most wonderful experiences

With nothing but the maimed and burnt stumps

Freedom is locked up, isolated, under siege

Surrounded by the snarling smoldering fires

Every Other Step Matters

While all the other legs labor

Pushing and kicking 

Dribbling and tackling

Passing and crossing 

The guy who caps it all

With a tap into the goal

Gets all the praise 

And all the applause

Land of the Green and the Bold

The plane is struggling along the road

Having by the car been candidly told

That the best way is the awesome road

To the land of the green and the bold

Now the plane is happily flying high

His heart having convinced him to fly

For his is not the road but the sky

To the land of the green and the bold

The Simple Beginning

 The plane, that now the sky rules 

That proud giant that now is a marvel

A humble glider is what it was once  

That flew at the mercy of the winds

That is how the beginning started

The Thing that Matters

 Am I a frog? Then I cherish my special

Hopping ability, it is my source of pride

I worry not about my inability to fly

You Have It All In You

Why are you standing there staring in the sky

Envying the birds that are proudly flying high?

Switch that attention to the magnificent you

See the imposing wings that you have too 

You can fly just as high as the birds do

Fly high, fly wide, you have it all in you

Desperation

For all the frustration and stressing, 

The only reward is disappointment

Instead of relief and happiness

That One Skill

Audio: That One Skill

A knife can do a lot of things

But cutting is what it does best

A hammer can do a lot of things 

But who can beat it at driving the nail?

A pen can do a lot of things 

But what it does best is writing
