Success Poem by Imaobong Akan

An opportunity, free gift to mankind
The fame of positive creators of impact
An all encompassing phenomenon
weighed not by possession
but impact

Success! The vehicle to fulfillment
The destroyer of failure
The food of the future icons
A matter of worth and value, not just wealth

Success! The creator's utmost desire for humanity
Not minding age, race or colour
Success! Got by doing the extraordinary,
Achieved by a full dose of discipline

Success! Sought for by many
But worked for by few
Success! Rewards of the determined,
Innovators and brainstormers
Success, the wine of great men
The carrier of excellence, promoter of fame

SUCCESS IS:
Doing the unusual, with
unbroken focus, amidst
all distractions.
