Stay Focused.

We live in a world where everything seem to be wrong
They play people lives like a kite or the ping pong
The good news won't spread but the bad news they sing like a song
We are fuelled with drama, wanting to drag others down to sound our own gong
There is no time for sympathy in this life because it moves too fast
There is no time to play the pity parry while watching life go past
You have to be brave and overlook a lot of things just to last
No one will sound your horn for you, blow your own horn and put it on a blast
Not everyone wishes you well, stand well, so you won't go and cast
Dream big and follow your passion while standing tall like the mast
We live in a delicate world so you have to learn to be strong
Experience teaches you to look forward
It doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong
Shying away from current reality without picking the lesson makes you a coward
With lessons learned, surely it won't be long
You will sound your horn from better experiences louder than a gong
Your influence will spread like fragrance to every part of the world even in the far Hong Kong
Everyone likes to celebrate success, try and push further so everyone can sing your song
Until then, watch, learn, beware because when you are down, people laugh
When you are up, you attract flies that wants to perch
It takes wisdom to discern who is who -
It takes wisdom to separate true friends from those who aren't
Talk less now, learn more, observe and focus more on achieving something worthwhile...
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

There is no time for frivolities, one needs to stay focused on the bigger picture.
It felt as if you were talking to me specifically.
I love the way you play with words, effortlessly. Your rhymes and flow are up there😅
Hahahaha thank you. I love rhymes and flows so I try to make them make sense. I am happy you saw and love that.
No time for frivolities. Life can be unforgiven so we have to do what's best for ourselves always.
Lol, I couldn't have not noticed, it was too good 😊
Thank you very much. Deeply appreciated. 🤗🤗🤗
I always love your post because it always carries so much meaning. You are right, one must be very careful. It is not everyone that wants you well and I think that plays a major role in us making sure that we don't pick wrong associations around us. No matter what is happening around us, we should still remain focus
A lot of things will always happen around us to throw us off...that's how life has been designed. Being resilient and focused separates the strong from the weak. Yes, my friend...we have to remain focused. Thank you for that.
agreed, though it is hard to stay focused, but it's still possible if we don't care what other thing and do. We just need to do what our heart say and stop caring about other's and there says. Focusing is hard but it is neccessory.
Follow your heart, do what your heart beats for. It's hard to convince others when you are not convinced yourself. Anyone can achieve anything if it was easy. Not being easy is what differentiate humans and that's why we call it achievement.
yes, by doing what your heart say, you will be satisfied and will live a happy life. otherwise you will struggle to live a life you want to live .
That's it...doing what our heart wants and staying focused to doing that thing increases our chances for success when we are resolute to doing what we should do. Thank you.
Yes, and this thing will also put our life on a straight path and if everything is done right, we will have ultimate success that will last longer.
Long lasting success...I like that. Success must be able to be retained, maintained and allow to last.
At the end of the day, you are all for yourself. What’s the essence of having people around you when they laugh when you fall and still come around you when you’re up?
Life has only you. Show kindness but remember that you are all for yourself
That's it...it's hard to pick others up when your feet isn't firmly on the ground too. You have to stand firm, stay strong and remain focused because you are all you've got. Thanks a lot for that.
Our world can be a challenging place, and it's easy to get caught up in the negativity that surrounds us. We must strive to rise above it and focus on the positive, even when it's difficult.
It's true that we must learn to overlook the things that don't matter and focus on what's truly important. And you're right, no one will sound our horn for us - we must be willing to blow our own horn and make our voices heard.
Your advice to dream big and follow our passions is also spot on. We must be willing to take risks and pursue our dreams, even if it means standing alone at times.
Finally, it's important to surround ourselves with people who lift us up and support us, rather than those who tear us down.
Thank you for sharing
This is brilliant. What a comment. You touched every aspect of this post with such precision and understanding. Thanks a lot for that.
I agree with you, surrounding yourself with positive influence goes a long way as getting that extra support can give us the edge.
it is an honor for me to read your articles. these articles became the source of learning for me also. in this article your discussed the importance of staying focused and determined in your life or any goal. Because this world is full of distractions and negativity. staying focused is the key to success.
Your words mean a lot and I deeply appreciate you feel this way. It's a huge encouragement for me and that's why I always make the poem to be easy to relate with. Thank you for taking your time to understand and appreciate this. Staying focused is indeed the key to success.
yes my dear you are doing great job. I have love to spend time on your effort and it helps me in updating myself and also became the source of learning to me.
Thank you. Means a lot. Happy weekend and I hope you enjoy every bit of it too. Have fun.
Another soul giving, insight giving and thought provoking poetry. You have said it all. In this life, don't lose guard. Don't lose sight of what's important. People only celebrate success and ignore you when things are not good and that's why you have to stay focused on yourself and not get distracted. Your success lies with you.
Thank you very much for this. I am glad you love this. I am always encouraged. There are a lot of distractions in the world and we owe it to ourselves to stay focused and get the best out of life.
I love reading your posts. You are detailed and you carry your audience along. That's a major attraction too. You engage and share your views which is another major attraction. A very well done to you. Thank you.
Comments like yours with others encourages me to always give the best. I can't help but to engage everyone because I love different views and it sometimes inspire me also on what to discuss. I have smart commenters and it's encouraging too. Thank you.
This is just great, we must stand firm and prepared for the opportunities that life presents us, always with humility because he who spits up spit spit falls on him, take all the good we can and apply it not only for us but for everyone, being centered is everything and knowing what you want is vital to move forward, genial poema amigo ♥
We have to stand firm and remain focused. The world only celebrate the successful and without focus, how do we stay successful? I am glad you love this, my friend. Deeply appreciated.
You are absolutely right my friend, usually people are not part of our process but only come when the goal is already achieved and usually we should always focus on what is important and what is really worthwhile to us ♥
Most people can't withstand the process but they want to enjoy the result. It's human thing because most people lack patience. That's why we need to be successful and do what we should...for the sake of us. Only when we are fulfilled can we be of help to anyone else.
Very correct friend, you couldn't have said it better, because it really is like that, people want everything from today to tomorrow and not everything is like that, it can take you days, weeks, months or even years to achieve it but if we stay focused on what we want and want we will be a great example for everyone around us ♥
It is true that we are living in such a world, where the politicization is in their eyes, the lives of all of us are never special and they kill people anywhere for their own meaning and purpose. Because politics as it is is a very bad thing and in the same way we see that the systems are getting worse, so it is better that we have to work hard to make ourselves a good person and a person who respects us in the world. Be respected by people and we can achieve all these things for one reason and that is only hard work. If we work hard then we will get all these things one day.
It's better to make ourselves better because we are all we have got. No one will watch our backs or help us like we would for and by ourselves. When we work hard, we can achieve greater things that will mak our lives better.
Of course, you have said the truth, if we believe in ourselves and work hard, then after a few years, one day we will be successful, but here in our country, there is such a system that no matter how hard people work. If successful, their post is given to a recommended person.
It's the same with Nigeria. The system has been designed to make people fail but that's why I said we need to stay focused because it's easier to get distracted. Others are making it, so can we.
The effort is that the target that is set in life is working day and night on it and pray that you will get success because a person does a lot of hard work.
(The good news won't spread)When I read this phrase I remember the large amount of news, they generally focus on the bad things, well, this is what sells, I think that if they only focus on the good, possibly reiting would not work, there are people who do good deeds for the others, for the planet, etc., but they are NOT visualized, this is sad, but very real
Bad news fly so fast my friend. This is why we have to do everything within our power to stay focused and be relevant. Life can be unforgiving but we have the power to control what's within our ability to.
