Success Poetry Quotes

“Failure Reveals Friends (The Sonnet)

When you try something new,
if you have someone to share it with,
Value that person more than the achievement.
Believe you me, it sucks to try new things,
When you got no one to share your excitement.
It's the people in our lives,
Who add value to our achievement.
This one time I thought I had found my rock,
But she got tired of my failures
and left me in bereavement.
All know about my triumphs, but till now,
I have no one to share my failures with.
It's easy to find people to share your success, but,
Very difficult to find one to share your struggles with.
Everybody will be there for you in the taking.
But nobody will be there for you in the making.”

“Ambition in Motion (The Sonnet)

Come hell or high water,
Never let caution cripple your feet.
Better to fall hard and learn a lesson,
Than speculate forever with couched feet.

Everything I've achieved is by trial and error,
There was no handbook to aid my mission.
Maps to known paths are available plenty,
But there is no map to uncharted destination.

You are the handbook to your ambition,
Not your background or family treasures.
If you persist long enough, at some point,
Your persistence will outrun your failures.

Better fail than frozen - failure is the foundation.
Failure is the first sign of ambition in motion.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yarasistan: My Wounds, My Crown

“Confessions (Sonnet 1034)

Naskar is invincible,
Got no a fear in the world.
Abi is often crippled by fear,
Pushing through with a panicky heart.

Naskar is a pillar of strength,
Beyond all dilemmas and insecurity.
Abi is just an ordinary creature,
Often trapped in bottomless ominosity.

Every time that Abi hits a new low,
Naskar ends up flying to new heights.
Naskar is such a shining beacon,
Because of Abi who burns all night.

Behind every extraordinary Naskar,
there is a clumsy, ordinary Abi.
You only see the light of the sun,
not its combustion agony.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Her Insan Ailem: Everyone is Family, Everywhere is Home
