When you can’t achieve what you think you should, <br />Take time, notice other’s great mastery. <br />A scant few live life as they thought they would. <br />Most languish, bitter and in agony. <br />The masterful few scarcely worry or fret, <br />They live now, not in the future of past. <br />While you and I dream, surely we can bet, <br />Some have gained precious knowledge that will last, <br />For they seize each day fearless, with flair <br />Though most grasp the notion of achievement and fame, <br />Few take the steps or hardly can bare <br />The rigors to be the best in the game. <br />So, rather than curse your awful strife, <br />Emulate those few successful in life.<br /><br />Kent Holman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-masterful-few/
