Success Is Theirs Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Some people refuse to be instructed.
Or accept critique as a useful possibility.
OR believes someone who gives it,
Is on their side with an honesty to criticize.

Only those who hear and accept,
A truth that is done to come unexpected...
And not to flatter an ego one protects,
Eventually discover...
They and with determination,
Have begun to correct their own footsteps.
To find success is theirs!

And...
With an eventual gratefulness,
Someone found them who could care less...
What need they had to impress!
