Arnold's Song

The secret to success lies in five simple rules
Follow it to unleash the positive energy it fuels
Keep it close to your unwavering hearts
And unfold the serene wisdom it imparts

First, find your vision and follow it relentlessly
Lest life be a rudderless boat - drifting aimlessly
Dreams are truly what maketh a man
A resolute cog in God's divine plan

Second, think big and shoot for the stars
Lofty thoughts will even put man on Mars
Many a successful enterprise starts in a garage
It's your life - go and make it large

Third, ignore the pervasive naysayers
Instead persist with your steadfast prayers
Negativity should have no place in your soul
Optimism is what makes one consummately whole

Fourth, for hard work, there is no substitute
Each day put in unswerving efforts resolute
Rome, as they say, was not built in a day
Diligence and dedication should be your mainstay

Fifth, give to others that you may receive
Treasures you cannot even fathom or perceive
For by helping the needy and the poor
You receive abundant blessings right at your door

In life's rich soil, just plant these precious seeds
These golden rules by which man succeeds
They will help you conquer, you never need fear
And fulfill the dreams your heart holds dear
