The Secret To Greatness Poem by Obed dela Cruz

The Secret To Greatness

Rating: 5.0


Humility is the secret to greatness.
With humility, you do not show weakness.
Greatness comes to a man who is humble.
Greatness is given to the responsible.

If you live only for such fame and fortune
And getting what you desire is your life’s tune,
When you’ve reached your greatness, your greatness is fake,
Because the pride of life can make your life ache.

Greatness will voluntarily come to you
If you make your old ways, life, and methods new.
Neither live just for pleasure nor for vain
Because pleasure with vain may give you such pain.

Never listen to the crabs and grasshoppers
Because they may lock you in hell forever.
