Success and falure

Success distorts
one's world view
and he sees even that
which is not there

One who fails
his confidence shakes
and he sees clearly
what is there

Those who are in between
and there are many like this
they hang out there
as the ground slips under their feet

But all contribute
everyone in his own way
the world we see around
it is such as we have made

Those who are equipoised
they hold their ground
whichever way the wave turns
they cover more ground

One may change with time
but not his nature
grill him a little more
and see what happens!
