Success


One job is all it takes

To change the world and my life

No it doesn’t have to do with cakes

But it might surely find me a wife

 

A surgeon saves lives and restores people

It is important for me to become this hero

For what I know is the patients heart rate might beep a little

Surgery will give me an opportunity help my community

Surgery will give me an opportunity to support a family

 

With hard work and dedication I can achieve my goal

This isn’t soccer or hockey

Or the super bowl

This is me showing my idea of being successful

 

Herbert Hoover was an engineer

Theodore Roosevelt was a rancher

And Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer

Hugh Jackman was a clown, but look who’s laughing now

The point is that with hard work these people achieved their goals

And now they should take a bow

 

A career of a surgeon will change my view of the world

Not only will I see how grateful I am to become what I have hoped to achieve

But lets be honest

I can say I’m honestly living the American Dream

 

Money doesn’t buy happiness

But are people really happy moneyless

You see surgeons make a lot of money

But im not the person to post

Hey maybe one day ill be in the Huntington Post

 

A job is surviving not living

I want to live not survive

Im gonna strive hard to reach my dreams

And change the world with gleam

 

In my family we have a saying

If you really want to grow a tree pray for rain

But don’t neglect watering your seeds

Chase your dreams

I understand to not to become a slave to a paycheck

Because a job is a safe net

Just like a condom that is used for safe sex

 

Theres a saying which says

“Build your dreams instead of someone hiring you to build theirs”

Choose a job you love

And you will never have to work a day in your life
