Five Percent

Life is five percent how
You make it and
95 percent how you take it.
Walk through life with a plan,
but be as flexible as you can.
I’ve had many goals in mind,
and I’ve done several things.
With all these experiences I
find knowledge books could
never bring.
Look for your advantages as
you walk along your path.
Set the stage, move the lights,
be prepared to take a chance.
The opportunities for success
are there for those who can see.
The blind won’t believe unless
the past is buried in concrete.
