Measure of Success

A man's success is not measured
By how how high he has climbed
But it is measured
By seeing his ability
Quantity and quality
How how he bounces back
When he falls to bottom
We can't see the ever greenness
Of any tree
In the month of spring
Actually springs lack
The power to measure
The ever greenness of tree
In the month of autumn
It becomes clear
Which is evergreen
And which is not
Great is one
Who achieve greatness
On his own
Neither those who inherit greatness
Nor there who is thrust upon greatness
Self made man
Can stand the test of time
He can change time
He can leave footprints
On the sand of time
