"Aim to be successful, but not too successful"


“Aim to be successful, but not too successful”

 

What makes Beyoncé flawless?

Motivation, determination, and concentration

Traits of success are what comfort you to express

Expressing my aspirations motivated me

It is a common saying, although not true, “Girls can’t surf”

My endeavor to surf taught me one thing

Why not change that saying?

Surfing is what makes me feel flawless

It requires me to be motivated, determined, and concentrated

In a way I feel a connection to Beyoncé

Being successful is a choice, not a socially acceptable aspect of life.
