Hit me hard with a hundred no’s
Each bring’s you closer to a yes
Our failing low’s are where we grow
Where we climb and leap for success
Own each defeated misfortune
Inadequacy is our strength
Teaching us to remain humble
Strive for life with every breath
Failure to opportunity
Rip all positives from the ground
Hold tight of learned wisdom from gloom
Now we soar, just look at us now

A fine write Maxine.
Thank you Orchidee.

Thank you so much hunny.
It's nice to read a poem with a good positive message all the way through. Sometimes all the forlorn and heavy poems can be a bit much. This was the perfect antidote to that. It was uplifting and reminds the reader of their own capabilities. Well done
What lovely feedback, thank you so much.
Another super write Maxine.
Thank you Michael.

Thank you Theta.
Thanks MAXINE ~ In my limited experience (35 years) it is only when we FAIL that we can measure success ! In Scientific Research the failures are just as significant as the successes ! The failures teach you what is wrong (so you eliminate them !) and the successes enable you to take another step in the right direction ! We all take stainless steel for granted but our great-grandparents had to polish all their cutlery because it rusted ! In 1912 in Sheffield (UK) Harry Brearley was experimenting with adding different metals to IRON to see if it altered its properties. Some did and some didn't ~ he did hundreds of experiments. He gradually increased the % of the added metal. When he added 13% of CHROMIUM he discovered the Chromium / Iron alloy did not rust and STAINLESS STEEL was born ! He did not set out to invent STAINLESS STEEL but by persistence (and lots of experiments) he did ! The MANTRA is: If at first you don't succeed ~ try ~ try and try AGAIN ! Thanks for an interesting topic ~ Yours BRIAN & ANGELA
