The Toolbox Of Success Poem by Amrit Rathi
The Toolbox Of Success
Today we will open the Toolbox of Success
and examine each tool,
so as to succeed in everything
using it to the very full.
Ok. You're getting angry, but can you wait?
Or switch off this TV, to study even if it’s late?
Or forego the burger to save your health?
Or try to be humble in spite of your wealth?
You need the patience
to forego something minor now,
to achieve something major in the future:
this is the essence.
So patience is the most powerful tool
to fool around
for success in everything;
it lays the ground.
It is a bit difficult, though a rewarding journey:
from instant pleasure to efforts for the future,
from temptation of now to wait and nurture,
and you're in control all around.
Again—are you grumbling or blaming others?
Or do you take full responsibility for your affairs?
Either you won't see what’s that bothers
or you’ll be able to decide and take all the cares.
So assuming responsibility’s another powerful tool
to fool around
for success in everything;
it lays the ground.
It is a bit difficult, though a rewarding journey:
from shifting blame to accepting your faults,
from defense mechanism to confidence-vault,
and you're in control all around.
Again—are you constantly updated with realty?
And use new ideas to fuel your imagination?
Either you're open with all options, possibilities,
or stuck in the old rut with knee-jerk reaction.
Determining what applies to a situation is a powerful tool
to fool around
for success in everything;
it lays the ground.
It is a bit difficult, though a rewarding journey:
from the rigid outlook to a flexible approach,
from sheer stagnation to change is brought,
and you're in control all around.
When and how much of these techniques but to use:
to enjoy the beauty of a flower should you choose?
or when and how much even anger can be shown?
or take responsibility that's not yours even to muse?
or how much the new from the old is to be drawn?
This is called balancing, another powerful tool
to fool around
for success in everything;
it lays the ground.
It is a bit difficult, though a rewarding journey:
from strictly applying tools to modifying for need,
knowing how much discipline, the discipline needs?
And you're in control all around.
Finally, what is the toolbox of success that holds
all these tools, creating an urge in you so bold?
Love—that's what contains them all into its fold:
for his brighter future, a mother makes her son—
though it pains her—study hard and to slog on.
So from the Toolbox of Success, the love,
pick up these powerful tools
to fool around
for success in everything;
it lays the ground.

It is a bit difficult though a rewarding journey, From the rigid outlook to a flexible approach, your project of proposed tools are very wonderful. actually man has been already uplifted perhaps into machine. so the conception of tools are also meaningful. Thank you Write more.... Run long... Regards Apoet

Dear Sir, When you spoke about your first two tools I was a bit confused that how do you make sure that they are not over used and used at the right time But Bang then you come with these magical lines and the last and the most important tool Lines I loved 'But. When and How much these techniques to use? To enjoy the beauty of a flower should you choose? Or when and how much even anger can be shown? Or Take responsibility that's not yours even to muse? Or how much from the old and the new to be drawn? '
Dear Amrit, Thanks for this poem full of wisdom. Putting wisdom into melodious verses is much more difficult than writing about feelings (at least for me) Here you show it is possible to write about wisdom, to make it melodious and sound very nice. Content and language, both a masterpiece Thanks again for the poem.
So Assuming Responsibility’s another powerful tool To fool around, For success in everything, It lays the ground. It is a bit difficult though a rewarding journey, From shifting blames to accepting your fault, A defense mechanism to confidence vaults. And you're in control all around yes sir, success is a pride.. the way you do this poem is really very impressive and heart touching one..I really enjoyed it.. well done
