SUM OF ALL WORDS

SUM OF ALL WORDS

A Poem by NeiL ArandA
"

Success is not a factor of circumstances but of character

"

Sum of all Words


There's a thought that covers all deeds.

It's the sum of all words. It supersede

intuition and worldly acclaims. It's better

than wealth, talent and prestige and

all academic achievements combined.


Less or lack thereof made great aspirations

and booming corporations rise and fall.

It possesses great influence; rivaling benevolence

When personally addressed, this trait is 

always viewed in a negative tone and

treated with putrid disdain.


You won't get farther in the highways and

byways of life if you ride with this. And

when the rubber meets the road. It stops

you dead on your tracks. Not a single

hitchhiker will show you a thumbs up.


Employers and endeavoring merchants

missed this on their hiring wish list.

It's often overlooked and swept

under the rug until it blows its cover.


Yet the Word of Life embraced this with

fortitude. He wore this with flying colors.


And when you test this thought and weigh

this word. It gives its sole owner a balanced,

perfect winning score. No more no less.


Everything revolves around this creed.

It's the most uncommon denominator.

It's the center and capital of the world

Where one single currency is used ~ words.

I've read this piece before and two words came to mind: love, integrity. However, those words don't seem to jive with the lines " this trait is always viewed in a negative tone and treated with putrid disdain" and "Employers and endeavoring merchants missed this on their hiring wish list". Now, i'm thinking that it could be "salvation" for we sometimes refrain from talking about it because we don't want to offend the personal conviction of others..but then again, salvation is likewise all about love.

I agree with Jacob.



But see they do it to seek to be
rich that is their down fall they do
it to Glorify God we have more success
when we do it Gods way and that money
goes to him as well he gives us money and
he gives us gifts all good things come from
god everything we have comes from him our
gifts and our money as well.

success is what is inside...and when we feel confident about ourselves and don't feel we still have anything to prove...success is just being a good and kind human being, not in material wealth, but having true friends...people who love us.

I admit to being confused. My thought would have been love or kindness, but you state that it is looked on with putrid disdain.
Power is the most important thing in this world. But trying to grab it is wrong and eventually unsuccessful. Real power has to be built...

Neither success nor failure is left to chance or outside circumstance. It is all a matter of SELF in the eyes of the GOD of our understanding.

You have summed it up marvelously in those lines. Success is from within then the without. The balance between the spiritual and the material. The effects and values we leave or give others to help and excel in noble sharing of karmic influence id success that echoes in lives( Applying the golden rule is success). Excellent, sir...:)............
