      In one of my coaching sessions with my manager, she mentioned that it is our goal to add value to the people we work with. I never thought it can be applied in a grander, bigger scale.

    I would like to dedicate this poem to all the caring and loving nurses at The Royal Women's Hospital, Parkville that had been with me, nursing me in the best possible way back then during the last summer 2020. You all were wonderful angels on earth! Thank you so very much.

    Success:
    Going day to day with joy in your heart.
    Going day to day listening and learning from those you see as wise and those that you believe are not.
    Going day to day seeing life at its finest in playing children.
    Going day to day being shown your flaws that you can adjust.
    Going day to day knowing those that betrayed you do not comprise your soul.
    Going day to day recognizing our world is a living organism and we are its cells.
    Going day to day to pull out a person's strength.
    Going day to day to to align a painting for the world.
    To succeed. Be good to others. Everyday.

    In the poem, the poet shares his own meaning of living a successful life.
    The poet's definitions of success include happiness, wholesome relationships, appreciation of beauty, and contributions to society. While so many people pursue fame, power, money, and pleasure, this simple yet profound poem makes the reader to think about the true meaning of success in life.

    I love Emerson's work, but this poem was actually produced by Bessie A. Stanley, an American writer from Iowa. It was originally published in Heart Throbs, a book that compiled the writings of many authors. A few pages down from this poem ("Success") is Emerson's "Good-Bye". It is speculated that an original misattribution arose from their proximity. Regardless, this is a beautiful piece of literature!

    Finally i found a pioneer in his subject, who discovered the true natur of himself and left something behind to discover it in ourselves. In our current time, who is a big personality anymore or a real inspiration ? I can't tell you, but from now i'll dig myself into these old, wise texts from ralph waldo emerson and his student henry david thoreau.
