FIRST POEM Are you living on ‘Someday Island’, and your life is not going anywhere? ... YES ! THIS POEM IS BY Dennis Waitley ( famous International professional speaker ) It will inspire you and you guide you towards a better Road in Life Someday Isle There is an island fantasy A “Someday I’ll” well never see When recession stops, inflation ceases Our Mortgage is paid, our pay increases That Someday Isle where problems end Where every piece of mail is from a friend Where the children are sweet, already grown Where all the nations can go it alone Where we all retire at forty-one Playing Football in the island sun Most unhappy people look to tomorrow To erase this day’s hardship and sorrow They put happiness on lay-away And struggle through a blue today But happiness cannot be sought It can’t be earned, it can’t be bought Life’s most important revelation It’s the journey that means as much as the destination Happiness is where you are right now, Pushing a pencil or pushing a plow It’s knocking on doors and making your calls It’s getting back up after your falls It’s going to school or standing in line Tasting defeat, tasting the wine If you live in the past you become senile If you live in the future your on Someday I’ll The fear of results is procrastination The joy of today is a celebration You can save, you can slave, trudging mile after mile But you’ll never set foot on your “Someday I’ll” When you’ve paid all your dues and put in your time Out of nowhere comes another Mt. Everest to climb I have decided Today to make it my Vow To take Someday I’ll and make it NOW __________________________________________________________ SECOND POEM THE PERSON IN THE GLASS by Dale Wimbrow, 1895-1954 ( Modified by Nazih G. Elhayek ) When you get what you want in Life, And the world calls you Great for a day, Just go to the mirror and look at yourself, And see what that person has to say. For if it’s not your family, spouse, or friends Whose judgment upon you must pass. The person whose verdict counts the most Is the one staring back in the glass. Some people might think you’re very cool and put you up high in the sky But the person in the glass says you're just a fool, If you can't look him straight in the eye. He's the one to please, never mind the rest, For he's with you dear up to the end. And you have passed your most difficult test If the person in the glass is your friend. You may fool the world throughout the years, and get pats on the back as you pass. But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you’ve cheated the person in the glass ___________________________________________________________ HARD WORK & DEVELOPING STRONG CHARACTER ARE THE MAIN SECRETS OF SUCCESS IN LIFE !!
