"Successful Slaves"
“SUCCESSFUL SLAVES”
(The choice is yours, not mine)
Secret of success so many stories told in many ways
Road to success in multitude variant ways
Some roads are long and bumpy
Others are short and easy
No road at all for
Many
Success
Luck or hard work
Pain and glory or both
Path may be easy, difficult or risky
Lotto, gambling’s, business and inheritance
Love, politics, careers, sports or underworld means
To so many, success comes through slavery as a recipe
Most successful persons come to think of it
Becoming a slave is a similar story
Most of them, yes, are slaves
Slaves of good
Habits
My habits
My master so powerful
In peoples’ lives, habits are dictators and tyrants
Drinker, gambler, chain smoker, laziness, womanizer
Workaholic, early riser, book worm, studious, attention to details
In our journey to success, habits, good or bad, are determinant factors
Just like eating peanuts, certainly, to develop good habits is not that easy
Trial and error, no way, tried and tested ingredients is right all the way
Mixed burning desire, sheer determination and rigid discipline
Flavored with ability to stay focus in the right direction
Plus the divine guidance of our Great Chef
Our Creator
Yes
Indeed, we are free
Though in habits, freeman is nobody
Be wise, be choosy, mannerism or otherwise
Refuse bad habits, go for good habits is my advocacy
It is all right, no risk, all gain. The choice is yours not mine. Isn’t it?
