Successful People
By
Melchor F. Cichon



They really think.
They aim for excellence.
They have self-confidence.
They work on their dreams.
They consider criticism as a lesson.
They know how to work with people.
They consider time as a precious resource.
They plan well and they work on their plan.
They work for the improvement of their fellowmen.
They consider their employees as their main resource.
They consider failure as a challenge to improve their skills.
They are not afraid to try a new way of solving an old problem.
They stand on their strengths to booster their weaknesses.
They do not forget their families and their God.
They are not afraid of committing a mistake.
They consider crisis as an opportunity.
They are creative and innovative.
They work while others sleep.
They work with a purpose.
They know when to rest.
They are persistent.

We Have A Vision*


We have a vision
To cross the Pacific Ocean
And climb Mt. Everest
We have a vision
To rise above the level of a rose
And fly like the eagle in the skies.
We have a vision
To cut any Gordian Knot
And lead a nation of free men.
But a vision is nothing but a vision
If we just dream on it.
A successful man works
On his vision
Even after sunset.
Even after no other man is left standing
But him.

You Always Have A Reason or Two
Melcichon
May 20, 2012

You always have a reason or two
To say “No!” each time I ask you
To have lunch at Jollibee or at Macdo;

You always have a reason or two
To say “No!” each time I invite you
To see the Concert at the Park;

You always have a reason or two
To say “No!” each time I ask you
To see the rising sun at Boracay Beach;

You always have a reason or two
To say “No!” each time
I ask you a kiss.

But you always say “Wow, I love it!”
Each time I steal you a kiss.
