Inspire

(Entry 62 - 11. 09. 2019 )

′ The mediocre teacher tells

The good teacher explains

The superior teacher demonstrates

The great teacher inspires ′

So they say, and we understand

And I like to add to it -

The bad teacher misleads

The awful teacher destructs

In life, the good, the bad and the ugly

As well as the awful and the nasty

In fact, these are the most common ones

Learning from adversity - life’s essential skill

That is ' each & every way you turn

you hit a wall ′ experience

What to do? Run away?

There is a wall there too

I’v been there, I know

There is no way out

The next immediate thought: survival

Would I make it? What must I do?

The following decisions demonstrates

What you are really made of

Because they are life & death decisions

Should I persist? Should I surrender? Or else?

The moment of truth

Truth about myself even I can’t deny

You know what I did next?

I was so persistent, and head straight to the walls

The very next thing was a miracle

Through the walls I went and arrived on the other side

Not only I survived the last calls

I became this genius thriving in the everlasting eternity

Of cause, I have no objection here

Truth is, now that on this side of the fence

Things are quite the usual, no surprises

I guess I have already faced the ultimate surprise of all - my own mortality
