Successful Person

I had never stood first in class,

I had never won the tag of top dog in school.

The sadness had remained with me for so long.

Today, I smile on those silly things.

Life is not all about impeccable success.

Learning, mastering and practising skills are to be mused for real achievements.

Paltry mistakes teach a lot,

Failures become true guides.

Honing character 

And remaining moral 

Are the hallmark of a successful person who wants to remain first in life.
