Lesson for an Entrepreneur Part VI

Lesson for an Entrepreneur Part VI

I carried my lovely treasure
With dedicated care -
My gems of unknown measure
Each one so rare!

My back moaned, fussed, balked
But still my treasure bore;
Then it broke; But I could walk
So I walked a little more.

Greed and pride are similar
In that they both make
Men push further and longer
Unthinking of the stake.

I put my treasure on my head
And begin to crawl.
I cannot help but let it be said -
It happened for good. I cannot fall.

Lesson for an Entrepreneur Part V

Lesson for an Entrepreneur Part V

When the river Ganges
In her anger
Washes away your oars,
And leaves you helpless
To head
Into chaos and uproar,
And tumbles your boat
To teach you
For daring her shores,
And forces her noise
To drown you,
(Your pleas she ignores)

When all seems lost
And you
Are one against All,
When far seems a rescue
Or relief
And imminent your fall,
When the mother Ganges
Is furious
Beyond pity's recall,
When long stay the nights
And Sun
Never comes at all,

Remember to remember
A lesson
Man's endeavors teach -
There lies in large hearts
A corner
Winters never reach.
And there find the warmth
To excuse
Fate's wrongdoing each -
Look! Ganges' anger ebbs
And reveals
A calmer shore, a milder beach.

The Ganges' angry
But
Her anger is just pretend.

This rapid shall end;
The next
Shall also end.
You only need to last
Just one
More night my friend.
Sun, is just acting dear -
So, work!
Big welcome you need to send.

Lesson for an Entrepreneur Part IV

While walking a greener patch
Keep the gray in view -
Remember that grays last;
Greens are far and few.

While crossing the bolder arch
The one that may not hold -
Remember how a bird falls;
Worrying, but its wings uphold.

While falling and losing fast
Keep your heart safe in place -
Remember to not blame the arch;
When you lose, don't lose your grace.

While picking up and rising again
Keep your eyes and feet steady -
Strap and tighten your gear then;
Holds are rare and slips are ready.

Lesson for an Entrepreneur Part III

Love all you may, friends and fellow comrades;
And share all you may - songs, blood and blades;
But remember the lesson from defeat in wars -
Is all there is that's yours -
At the end, every battle is fought alone.

And laugh all you may, be joyous while you can;
And enjoy the sweet company - of wine, dance and clan;
But remember the lesson from victory in wars -
Is all there is that's yours -
At the end, every victor stands alone.

Lesson for an Entrepreneur Part II

What I learn

What I seek
Is the Perch
And the Flight

What I ask
Is the Entirety
Un-applied

What I learn
Is the Grey
And the White

And that what matters
Is not the Dog
But his Fight.

Bewildered of this -
Ever blackening darkness
Whenever I cried

What I found
Was morning
By my side.

What fate plays
Is the Seek
And the Hide

What results
Is the Man
And his Might.

Lesson for an Entrepreneur Part I

From success, from progress, from duress -
There is only one thing to learn.
There is only one thing to learn
From loss, from profit, from no, from yes :

Even worlds below the sea follow Jungle Rule -
The big fish will eat the small one,
The small fish will eat the little one,
And the littlest - Will die a fool.

Lesson for an Entrepreneur Part 0

When the Gods are done

Though the fires rage,
And though the gods roar,
And waves mighty big
Prevail upon my shore,
And though the grounds howl,
And though the quakes come ..

.. The most beautiful flowers,
After the snow, .. blossom.

And when the Gods are done,
And when the lands lay bare,
When beasts stay hidden -
It's the Humans who dare.
And w
hen the earth needs help
And the burden is "to create" ..

.. The Great only Human
Can lift the mighty weight.
