The Winning Mantra

THE Winning Mantra

- Shashank, 24^th September, 2007

It’s not about Socrates

Or a modern Bill Gates

Sometimes a teamwork

Can gather more praise

Togetherness speaks

Tougher than so much else

Just put an open eye

On the underdog who dwells

In those fiery rounds which

Can dismay most of ‘em

Who talk of being the powerful

Of being the game’s gem

People usually squander

In search of something personal

Me, mine and myself

So rich, but yet so dull:

Losers do talk and understand

What this does mean

Specially those who boast,

For whom others are thin and lean

But there goes the game

And enter the winners

You miss by a spot, or perhaps an inch

But wait, who now cares?

Thinking and planning

In a group for a cause

Can get you winning

Coz’ you can’t leave it to the toss:

Luck is an element

You cannot control

But time’s a commodity

You can very well roll

But then again,

Only if you plan and think

These ideas can strike

And make a dream wink...

So prepare for solid

Prepare for a win

Prepare for your country

Prepare for your kin

Whatever be the motivation

Just go ahead and do

Don’t think of the outcome

Just lean in every virtue

100% is what’s required

And nothing more

People remember the commitment:

Go on, and hit the four
