Essentials
What are the essentials for a successful life, for success in setting your goals. Let this motivational poem remind you of a few of the essentials. The poem can be summed up with one sentence, Let gratitude be a platitude allowing you to show latitude when it comes to your attitude.by St. Clair Adams
Roll up your sleeves, lad, and begin;
Disarm misfortune with a grin;
Let discontent not wag your chin-
Let gratitude.
Don't try to find things all askew;
Don't be afraid of what is new;
Nor banish as unsound, untrue,
A platitude.
If folks don't act as you would choose
Remember life is varied; use
Your common sense; don't get the blues;
Show latitude.
Sing though in quavering sharps and flats,
Love though the folk you love are cats,
Work though you're worn and weary-that's
The attitude.

"A positive attitude can really make dreams come true - it did for me."
"There are no menial jobs, only menial attitudes."
