Before I write this poem let me give you the source of my inspiration for it.

This is one of the quotes which tells you how to get where you want to be in a few lines. I think this quote is worth a billion dollars and shows the great difference between the successful people and losers.

Poem Dedication

To those who read books on how to be successful but never tasted success.
To those who have read many articles and books on how to be a public speaker but can't strike a normal conversation in the street.
To those guys who imagine dating a certain girls but have never talked to them.
To those who think one day they will own a ferrari but keep on watching movies making them pop culture disciples.
To those guys who admire the rich but have never become 3 figure earners themselves.
To the student who thinks life after school is a walkover.
To the low ranking officer who wishes to become an executive before retirement.
To the politician who wishes to become a president but fakes its-because they fear criticism.
To the citizen who keeps thinking the government is responsible for their life success and welfare.
To the child who is entitled to his/her parents' for everything.
To the self-proclaimed writer who has never wrote a book, an article or even a 3 paged essay.
To the worker who expects everything from their boss.
To the harlot who has lost hope.
To the pauper and beggar who hope someone will be their Messiah.
To those who don't believe in themselves but prepared to believe anyone.
To the one who tries to please all everyday but suddenly lives a mediocre life
To those who take and take but never give
To the pessimist and optimist who does not perceive opportunities.
To the employee who is never promoted and questions why?
To the entrepreneur whose graph is not rising.
To those who love great change in themselves.
To you who is reading.

The quote

Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. William Jennings Bryan

The poem

To live in the greener pastures you have to go there
For the juicy sweet taste of a peach is only known by he/she who eats it
The future is not written high above in the sky
For everyone is the author of their today

For every bird has to work up early to get the first tasty fruit
Every cheetah walks alone to catchy the captivating kudu, so does a honey-badger in search of life
Like a wild dog everyone has to fight for survival
Unlike a bulldog you have to feed yourself

Success here doesn't go to the one who hides a $100 underground
But to the one who invests in the $2 and reinvest until he gets a $1000
Or to the farmer who spends all the money reaped,
Then expects inputs from the donors.But to the one who remains determined

You have to work hard to run a 100 metre track,
Harder for a 200 race and hardest for 400 metre race
Heaven-like-life doesn't come to those who dream and dream
But to those who dream and get the dreamy relaxing experience

One has to jumb high to go high,
Move a step forward to go forward
Do the unimaginable to feel greatness
And go above the world limits, to see yourself unique

The house-watch is moving like a quicksilver.So act now!
Did you approached and whispered the one you love?
Did you say sorry for hurting their feelings?
Have you achieved the ideals you had when you where 5, 10, 20, 30, 40?
