1. The SECRET OF SUCCESS
Life’s got a sure shot way giving u your due
It offers a lot of chances for the honest few
But is equally ruthless on the larger crew
Who oft make the folly of being untrue.
The virtue of truth is a real blessing
Some have it while in others tis missing
The benefits may not always be evident
But it always provides joy 2 d provident
At times solutions 2 some issues appear too easy
T is then that within you u hv 2 be quite queasy
A fair bit of grind and struggle is truly essential
To discover d man for all seasons, be it sunny or torrential.
There r no shortcuts in this long and winding voyage
U mite fall a lot more than others during a lean passage
But at the end of the day result is there for all to see
It is this grind tht gets all of life’s problems a free.
It is rightly said honesty is the best policy
To think otherwise would be a huge fallacy
This policy coupled with patience and perseverance
Can truly create the man to be held in high reverence
Whatever the situation, the ensuing benefits or the greed
One must never step away from one’s own creed
If life has to go on as smooth as a stroll on the meadow
It has to be led by a character embalmed with high credo.
Some times u find people winning all the mighty praise
U r made to believe that success is a synonym for their face
But the real secret of success in this marathon race
Is to becum the winner despite never losing ones grace
And to have a value system too profound for anyone to erase.

Very good and appropriate usage of words. I really like your vocabulary used in the verses. However the last concept is something i would like to differ on... A value system is not perfect if it is never to be earsed...it has to adapt itself to the changing times.... Still remain unique and subjective... what say???? I think it can at times be erased and rewritten!!
comment very much accepted....
the idea tht i want 2 put accross is tht....
"to have a value system too profound for anyone/ any event to negatively influence...." but fr d poetic effect... erase is used...
it can b rewritten but not for d purpose of suiting an immediate requirement or situation...
Arun, Very good. Continue the good work!
Good da, infact very good....keep up the good work!
