A POSITIVE THOUGHT
'It is never too late, to improve upon oneself''
At 15 , Khrushchev could count only thirty.
For he had as many sheep to look after.
Ho Chi Minh was a cook till forty,
And you know he was President thereafter.
So you would agree,
There is hope for me too:
for I am only thirty,
and slightly better of than the two.
BOOK KEEPING
7 hours sleep,
8 hours office,
plus 5 hours of
Bath ,meals,'calling on' and chit-chat.
And still,
I have 4 hours up my sleeves,
for my QIP (Quality Improvement Programme).
CONFESSION
Now,
I do feel guilty ,
For those unaccounted 4 hours every day,
I mismanaged in the past!
4 into 365 into 30 hours !!
Oh Lord, please forgive me once for all.
RESOLUTION
This day,O Lord ,
I resolve :
to plan my work,
and work on my plan .
Today will be the historic day,
when I changed the course of my life
From 'good for nothing ' to a successful , worldly-wise.
A VISION
Years hence,
When I go to address public metings,
I will tell this to the gathering :
'This is how,
One fine day,
I strode the path to success'.
PROCRASTINATION
Let me relax,
Before I take off,
With my QIP.
One last afternoon nap,
And a glance at 'Filmfare',
Or a 'farewell' matinee show in town,
should do no harm.
For tomorrow ,
I will be earnest,in the race of life.
May be tomorrow that TOMORROW arrives,
May be IT does not.
And gets postponed again.
Law of Inertia !
JUSTIFICATION
Any regrets ?
What bloody regrets !
This world needs average people too,
Who mis-manage their time,
Contented and unambitious!
Sad at times,
For,they represent those,
'who have nothing to look back with pride
and nothing to look forward with hope!',
when they retire from the race of life.
But , for them who stand out,
from the rat race of life,
Who would notice the 'outstandings'
O Lord,
I regret,
I have'no promises to keep'
I have 'no miles to go before I sleep.
