Not to climb the highest mountain but too climb many mountains as high as you can,
To win the marathon not as important as too finish many.
To sail around the world is great, too sail to places of dreams greater,
It’s not to sing the best song ever written but to write many good songs.
To work one hard day in your life is no accomplishment,
Too work hard everyday and give it your all is of greatness.
If to you having many friends is the greatest,
Then having one great friend is of value like no other.
If you can touch the world with many beautiful poems then that is beauty,
To hold on to only one of importance holds no treasure.
If you are of morality, if your word means something and your hand shake is strong
Then you are successful, if you are not a quitter and hold your head high.
The measure of success holds a different meaning for all people.

This is the essence of finding a place we belong.
It is not winning – it is doing the best we can.
This poem is incredible, Every line holds so much truth- very pure- it hit my core!!! I bow my head to you! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!
You must keep writing! And know that, when all is lost, much is gained!!! This is not BS as I have been through much- with lawyers too… loosing a life built…but it can be rebuilt, stronger and better! Please, do not loose faith. Measure of success, sometimes it is measured by the way you handle the challenges presented to you in your life! Good luck- my good thoughts and prayers are with you!!!
Wow- I will and thank you for sharing!!!!!!!! And God Bless!
Wow, that was inspiring!!!
so profound.. so deep. It’s thought provoking and touching!
la dismisura del successo
Non a scalare la montagna più alta, ma anche scalare molte montagne, come in alto possibile,
Per vincere la maratona non è importante come anche finire molti.
Per navigare intorno al mondo è grande, troppo navigare a luoghi di sogni più grandi,
Non si tratta di cantare la canzone migliore mai scritta, ma di scrivere molte buone canzoni.
Per lavorare un giorno duro nella vostra vita non è realizzazione,
Troppo duro lavoro di tutti i giorni e dare il tutto è di grandezza.
Se per voi avere molti amici è il più grande,
Poi avendo un grande amico è di valore come nessun altro.
Se si riesce a toccare il mondo con molte belle poesie che poi è la bellezza,
Per tenere a solo uno di importanza detiene alcun tesoro.
Se siete di moralità, se la vostra parola significa qualcosa e la tua stretta di mano è forte
Poi si è successo, se non sei uno che molla e tenere la testa alta.
La misura del successo ha un significato diverso per tutti.

Great poem to reflect on. Keep your chin up and keep fighting, that’s what your poem encourages me to do.

Such amazing poetry.
Nice one, Keith! Unfortunately, if you’re in the race today, you’re labelled as a loser by most. It’s a unidimensional world out there, when there’s so many ways to measure a person. Well done!
I have been away from work for two years now, sued my work place and won.
