the Way To Success
failure may outnumber success
failure is there
to make you strong
failure may cause pain
but nothing goes in vain
failure keeps you in touch
with reality
failure gives wisdom
failure gives experience
cowards don't fail
It's for the brave
who leave the shore
to sail into unknown
failure is a stop
in the journey of life
don't stop at the bend
today's failure would be
tomorrow's bigger success
failure is the cradle
in which success rocks.
failure is not a sin
failure is the first step for success
failure teaches you how to succeed
failure always helps in your success
failure helps you from failing
if you fail, it's not the end of the world
try!
success will definitely be on your way
so will run away your failure
but...
never forget your failure in life which helped you in your
SUCCESS

Fugitive of failure
Fugitive not what i planned for,
failure, nothing is better than death,
how can i die when life haven't interpret
my full meaning.
Fugitive Fugitive my crime has not called
for arrest,
my day is still young, not even failure
can stop me.
Still you call me fugitive,
success is my only witness, my success
will labor out my freedom,
failure keep coming after me, yet success
is telling me to standstill.
When will all this end' in this 'uncalled for state'.
The night keep looking at me without telling me to run or stand, yet the sun ask me to keep running until i reach the point
of success.
Fugitive of failure not anymore.

Road to Success
The road to success is not straight,
There is a curve called FAILURE,
A loop called CONFUSION,
Speed bumps called FRIENDS,
Red light called ENEMIES and
caution lights called FAMILY.
But if you have a spare called
DETERMINATION,
An engine called PERSEVERANCE,
Insurance called FAITH and
A driver called JESUS (GOD, ALLAH, ISHVAR)
You will make it to a place called
SUCCESS

My road to success
Never be discouraged by other people's negativities towards your success. /
Stick to what you love the most some day it will turn out well. /
Some things are hard to get but are worth working hard for. /
So, it is better to support than to look down on other people's dreams. /
The road to success it is not straight there is a curve called failure. /
A loop called friends & flats called jobs, but if you have a spare called determination. /
An engine called perseverance, insurance called faith & a driver called 'jesus' /
You will make it to a place called 'Success' /

Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success.

Life – A Melodrama Of Labour
The melodrama of labour,
The menace of failure
The determination to achieve,
To make one believe
That success can be near,
Turns down the failure-fear
And a step you advance, success seems to cling
Give more thrust and advance, And you find yourself in success ring.
Success succumbs to the brave,
Cowards fear success break
Paradoxically the want is universal
Made by planned series of rehearsals.
How many can cut the joy of enjoying?
Or learn enjoying in the work?
How many can realize the joy is work?
And learn working without end?
Complacence succumbs to success,
But significant is its degree
So calls for success after success,
Ongoing till breath can be!
Falls to be without distress,
And success to be without rest
Just as Nature weaves the flowers,
Without heed to the whither-showers.
Success is all pervasive,
Success: light or massive
Success is sugar of life,
The sprout of Success is bright.
No onset, No end,
Success has in its blend
Image of one’s deity
And gratefulness for complacence.
This is the tale of life,
This is the consent of joy & spice
From a success in having breaths
To an all successful life!

A black and bright
Black represents sign of bad omen
It may come at any time for man or woman
It is also called defeatist views
We must come out of it with constant reviews
It always reminds us of constant failure
Nothing seems or looks bright for future
You may still try to come over with crippled wings
It lands you in with more problems or brings
The term itself is expression of bad luck
We can do nothing except to sit as lame duck
It may always remind you of bleak prospect
It may require boldness to face and act
It also represents sunny side and looks very fine
How little stars appear in dark night and shine?
Darkness gives more room for them to show their presence
How comparison can be made in its absence?
Two sides can never be compared
Success can be failure even if well prepared
Failure may look quite good even if not focused
It may envy interest if passion is roused
There has to be great enthusiasm is for any act
This is very essential and undeniable fact
How best can we turn failure into success?
If we come out of black shadow and face
It is of no use to live under gloomy nature
We are consenting downfall with our own signature
Who else can come to your rescue and take you to safety?
We are only to be blamed and have self pity
It should never be half hearted attempt
You should be energetic, active and very prompt
You may come across unseen setbacks
It may force you to prepare keep awake
Light may not remain forever and darkness may descend
Treachery and deception may not work all the times and you will have to mend
It is cycle that repeats at regular interval
It should be greeted with equal enthusiasm upon its arrival
Success or failure, black and light form integral part
They may not be felt from the very beginning or from the start
They may permanently associate with your style of functioning
It may then be known as bright or weak beginning
Both the sides have got their own sphere
Even nature adopts it so the atmosphere
Moon shines and remains at her zenith
Who knows the facts lying beneath?
Stars shine in their own way
They have nothing to do with bright ray
Both function with same spirit and zeal
The fact remains fact and can’t be concealed

Would you like me to give you a formula for...success It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure... You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all... You can be discouraged by failure--or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side.

Failure And Success
Failure is the penalty,
for continually getting things wrong.
Success on the other hand is the award,
for getting things continually right.
Failure puts you down in despair.
Success sends you soaring among the clouds.
Therefore, I look at myself and wonder,
am I a success or failure.
Then maybe I am a bit of both.
Whichever way the hammer falls
only you can decide.

Faılure
When stones are pelted,
no heart is melted.
Emotions and understanding runs astray,
Upon that bed of thorns do I lay.
Of success did I boast,
But failure did I host,
Of happiness did I dream,
Strangely, all does sad seem.
A heavy burden on my shoulder I now take,
The weight, a result of each of my mistake.
Oh! Why cannot I turn this clock backwards?
To take back some of my empty promises and words.
The night be darkest before the dawn, they say.
In wait of the light, here I lay.
To success, is failure the stepping stone,
Now towards success, will work my every bone.

An idle mind
It is said”Idle mind is devil’s workshop”
You may go on thinking non-stop
It may travel across the globe
Unnecessary thoughts may engulf and make the probe
Any move made in haste results into flop show
You may feel like to take revenge and take vow
It is human tendency to think and adopt
To go in for quick results by showing action very prompt
How many things we would want to execute
We will be offering explanation for the charges to refute
It may go making futile search
There may be no body to come to your rescue and teach
No amount of arguments may satisfy you
You will not find any reason through
It will drag you for many more hours
You will be hitting sixes and fours
You should occupied with work always
In the long run it definitely pays
You may have set backs in your course
It may be momentary of course
You may suffer not because of your efforts
There may be many reasons for not making rapports
It doesn’t mean you lack expertise
You have everything but fail to rise
It may make you sad
You may also feel very bad
It is not the way to feel about
You must brace and face the rout
The success is bound to take place
It is human approach and common race
Everybody must try and attain
Digest the success and failure to contain
Things may move on swiftly as far as possible
The success must be cashed on as it is convertible
It may follow one after another
It may make you happy so need not bother
You may plan in your leisure
You may enjoy it with pleasure
It has nothing to do with success or failure
You are confident to win it for sure
Do everything whatever you want
Don’t curb your wishes if you can’t
Try and make attempts often and often
He may come to you’re your rescue and listen
Don’t leave everything to luck and fate
It may come sometimes very late
Possibly time is not ripe yet
Wait for it and afford the opportunity to let
We may think endlessly without any conclusion
It adds to uncertainty and confusion
It may lead us nowhere but to downfall
We may not be in position to respond to a call
Thin of it earnestly but not in air
It may not be worthwhile or fair
Success may be there but require tremendous work
All you should do is to think of it and not shirk

Choice 2
The beginning and end is choice
Choice is the power of decision,
Brother to destiny, sister to success
Brother to mediocrities, father of failure
Wrapper of success and failure
Upon every parcel it's written-'choose me'
Success or failure, Kindness or bitterness
Love or hate, heaven or hell
Recommendation or condemnation
A glare or stare, pearl or pierce
A crown or a cry
THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

Lap Of The Gods
You do your best you can do,
hoping it will pass the test.
Submitting it, you wait an answer.
Success or failure lies
in the lap of the gods.
You can only hope that
they are smiling and not angry with you.
You work hard at everything that you do.
Success or failure is never in your hands,
a higher authority holds that fate
and it is in their lap it sits.
All that you can hope for is
that they are smiling
and not angry with you.

No matter how hard you work for success if your thought is saturated with the fear of failure, it will kill your efforts, neutralize your endeavors and make success impossible.
We do not realise that we are children of eternity. If we did, then success would be no success, and failure would be no failure to us.

My Success Stories
Another day passed on the way.... Another day lost,
Loosing not only hope loosing each second which having huge cost....
Trying to fix life, each part of it,
Trying to earning, trying to full fill each need....
Earning not only a single rupee also few memories,
Memories which having success also having future stories.....
Trying hard to survive in this filed.... Field of success field of failure.
Where every one want success, failure attached with a word never....
Though failure is the way to reach the top,
You have to beat it each time till last, never say I want to stop....
Knowing this doing my part, trying each day to earning respect earning some glories,
May be some day comes when all will read my journey, my success stories....
