Used to everything except reality
Familiar to everything except feasibility
Oliver Twist would have liked to have you for a brother
Because you always ask for more,
More mediocrity and nothing more!
You thought you would survive without being afraid?
You should have known even Roses have thorns
Your rosy fantasy just developed thorns and you are already running away
At a speed faster than Usain Bolt.
You must be a Joker
Do you think Kings and Queens reject risks?
Even Jack, the master of all trade, thrives for Aces?
Don’t get too familiar with your dreams
Because the moment you let courage slip out
Your dream becomes suitable for only sleep-overs
If you have a dream, say it loud to yourself like Martin Lurther King before the crowd
If you have a goal, believe it but work it out even when fear holds you hostage
Prisons are workshops for people whose lives are battle grounds for their dreams,
Ask Nelson Mandela and he would show you how he did it.
Jokes apart, you must be a joker!
If you ever think you are too ‘prepared’ to be post-paired with failure
Every journey is a risk, even life
So rather than stay at shore, sail on to your dreams
The horizon is wide enough to get you lost but far enough to bring you closer to the coast of your destiny.
