With fine experience life may bulge
To produce countless internal benefits
But for the World to enjoy huge profits
All such experience we must divulge
Victory-flower is hard to pluck
But it possesses immense utility
So to get it we need a calm mentality
That will keep our emotions in check
Defeats’ deadly blow
Must not shatter our grit
Once our courage is split
Chances of winning are low
It is a badly wounded oyster
That mends its shell with pearl
Let one learn from that little soul
How courage one must wisely muster
So many cuts are made by the spade
But still resists that really mighty oak
But result comes through the last stroke
And at last spade’s power is displayed
Diamond is nothing but simple coal
That decides to live totally in exile
Its absence and patience are worthwhile
As it ultimately achieves its dazzling goal
Laziness is a disease like polio
That inflicts mind with inertia
Hard-work is the only panacea
Achieving goals in our port-folio
Mind can be one’s close friend or enemy
It depends upon how one views oneself
When the flame of defeat comes to engulf
It is the friend who forms a fire-brigade army
The gate of success is guarded by mind-dragon
In the entering scheme fear is the only snag
Tame the dragon by thinking great and big
Then successfully to the star hitch your wagon
By allowing efforts to flow like the Nile
Defeats can be successfully halted
And tough goals can be hopefully opted
Closing coffin of laziness with hard-work nail.
