Array ( [sid] => 180393 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Greatness [time] => 2015-01-26 07:38:32 [hometext] => Can you be the greatest you today? [bodytext] => Greatness

To be the greatest one first has to know what failure is
To become a success and get your reward
First you have to face rejection
To smile and mean it
First you have to smile and lie

Greatness is achievable through hard work
Success is what you get if others get you
Smiling and joy are your greatest rewards for a job well done
Money and power are the temptations that overshadow and cloud great greatness

It's not about the doe but the love
It's about passion and commitment
It's about others and sharing a dream
It's for your legacy
It's for humanity

True, knowing and learning to recognise failure is a key step to greatness.
I guess we are all great in some way though, at least to others if not ourselves/

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
