Success


Success

It’s something everyone wants, but

not everyone wants it as bad as they

say they do.

I believe that there isn’t a specific recipe for success

but there are key ingredients.

Hard work, lots of hard work

Without work, you go nowhere

You have to try your hardest to get what you want

and what you think you deserve.

Trusting yourself

Don’t listen to others that bring you down and

tell you no

Trust yourself and know your ideas are right

If you have an idea, go for it

Test it out and experiment

Because when you try and don’t

Succeed, there is failure

Failure

Failure comes when you do something wrong

when you don’t try hard enough

mistakes cause failure

but that’s okay

Failure is okay

Because when failing, you learn from

your mistakes and learn from them

You learn how to do something better

so that the same failure doesn’t

happen again

With lots of hard work and dedication

comes lots of success

and with success comes lots of

smiles and happiness

That feeling of “Ah, I did it”

The moment you pat yourself on the back and smile

When you add all these key ingredients up together,

success will come to you

Not easily, but you’ll get there.
