You are simply told to do so as ordered.<br>And what is important is that they like it.<br>You survive the hazards of this life.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">You become successful on the science of compromise, <br>the art of plea bargaining, the techniques of human relations.<br>You get some plaques for a lessened self-restraint.<br>You get the awards and recognitions for being their man of the year.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And one day you look at yourself in the mirror.<br>You see a different face and you do not like it anymore.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">You quit and hide.

You want to be left alone.<br>You want to reinvent yourself and listen to the voice.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Carefully, you cure the sickness of success.<br>All you need is a self who accepts yourself. All you need is the touch<br>of your hand. The applause has become pain itself.<br>And there you are, finding the truth again.The real meaning.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Ric+S.+Bastasa">Ric S.
