I have no interest, <br />To be among the top! <br />I desire to be at the top. <br />Looking with a grateful proudness... <br />Knowing that all it took, <br />Was vision. <br />Hunger. <br />Thirst. <br />Craving. <br />Sacrifice. <br />Temptation... <br />And greed! <br />Yes... <br />G-r-e-e-d! Greed. <br />What do you think motivation is? <br />Some warmed over spaghetti? <br />Delivered by a next door neighbor? <br />Well... <br />It isn't. <br />And just like those who have come to stomach success... <br />Yes... <br />One has to acquire a stomach for success. <br />Nibbling to be satisfied is not success. <br />Even from the summit... <br />There is observed, <br />Other quests testing... <br />To tease, <br />An unrest.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
