Destined for Failure by Poshu Ng ’23
Be honest with yourself, Some are destined for greatness, Some are destined for failure. Do you think you know who? You are wrong. The fastest, the strongest, the smartest today, The future doesn’t care. But the choices we make – They matter. No discipline will dissuade, But the self-inflicted. Control yourself. Why are you so careless? Do you not fear regret? Choose not to learn and adapt, Instead to bitch and point blame. For you, I feel no pity, no remorse. I will not help you. I would not hire you. I do not believe in you, And I believe in everyone. Your body matures, Your character shifts, But your guilt is immutable. And if you reject those lessons, You are destined for failure
