THE JOY OF SUCCESS ( MOTIVATIONAL POEM )

THE   JOY  OF  SUCCESS  ( a  motivational   poem  for  Grade 12  students )

     Success   is  a  peak,
     It   towers  as  a  challenge,
     It   seems  insurmountable,
     There's no path  leading  there,
     You  cut  your own  path,
     Through an unknown, unexplored  territory,
     Removing  sharp, painful  thorns,
     And  falling into treacherous  pits,
      Sweating  and  panting,
      Yet  you climb on, higher  and higher,
      Bit  by bit, by  trial  and error.
      At  times  you feel,
      "  No more of this, it's time  to give up,''
      But  you  carry on, with  a resolve,
      Tougher  than  steel,
      Have a  plan, have map,
      Lest  you get lost in the wilderness.
      Ask  for help, help from God,
      From  teachers, parents  and  well-wishers.

      On  top of the peak,
       Unfurl  the  flag,
       The flag  of  victory,
       The  flag of  hard  labour,
        Heave  a deep  sigh,
        Of  relief, of  fulfilment,
        And  feel  the  joy of  success.

    Great poem. Can feel a great underlying message that small losses are the stepping stones to big successes. Ofcourse, Trial and Error is the key to success

      thanks for the comments. I didn't plan this poem. It just popped up in my mind. Maybe this will motivate the students who are currently writing Grade 12 Preparatory exams.

A POEM FOR BAKOLOBENG STUDENTS

            A  poem   for  Bakolobeng    students  April   25th   was  a memorable   day  at  Bakolobeng   Secondary   School for   many   reasons. It  was the  last working  day of the  month  due to  a  long   weekend and  extended  special  school  holidays. For  me and  for Mrs. Visser, the  Principal, it was  our  last day  in our  careers. By  a  lucky coincidence, it was  my birthday. I   heard  that  the teachers, students  and the School  Governing  Body members  had  planned  a  special assembly  to  honour us. I thought  that the assembly  was  after  lessons, but  they  wanted to ...

The attack on Oommen Chandy-a Pravasi's perspective ( opinion)

The  attack on  Oommen  Chandy- a  Pravasi's  perspective   ( opnion ) The vicious attack  on Honourable  Chief Minister  Sri Oommen Chandy  at  Kannur, allegedly by CPM goondas, has shocked and  saddened  civilised , peace-loving  Malayalees  in India  and abroad. But , unfortunately, there are some people ,who are uncivilised anarchists  who celebrate ,rejoice, and justify  the cowardly and barbaric attack  on the Chief Minister. They are happy that , at least, one of them was able to injure Ommen Chandy, and of course there are others who regret that he escaped death. Such people can be found on the social media, making crude jokes about  Sri  Chandy's injury. It's  a true reflection of the scum that are baying for the blood of Oommen  Chandy. Some gutter channels play second fiddle to these  barbarians ! But  every  decent Malayalee...
