Successful Man and Woman. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Distancing negativity,
approaching positivity
cause miracles in life.
Honesty and perseverance
enable a man to earn
more money than
can be spent by his wife.

He frowns less and smiles more
to solve many dire straits.
Talks less and talks soft
to avoid many predicaments.

He is abstemious, unassuming,
learns from the scars of others.
Helps ever, hurts never,
works with patience and care.

He always writes his mistakes
and keeps his promise.
His frugality and altruism
make him successful and wise.
Either possession of those traits
or finding a successful man
makes her a successful woman.
