What is success?
I asked myself one day,
Is it simply winning,
Or maintaining the sway?

What is success?
I asked myself one week,
Is it the result of not giving up,
Even when you feel weak?

What is success?
I asked myself one month,
Is it the satisfaction you get,
finding treasure in a hunt?

What is success?
I asked myself one year,
This time I had to get it clear.

Some people said money,
Some said getting a good honey.

Finally the answer came to me,
Disguised as a man I invited to tea.

‘What is success’ I ask,
In return he gave me a task.

What is success! I asked again,
His reply was very simple and plain.

Success is the happiness you get,
Achieving a goal or bet.
In which you failed many times,
But always repeated the same lines-
“It is now or never,
I will not quit may happen whatever.”

This might be one of my first poems, and a one which is very close to my heart.
