When Your Timing Is Ripe (Part I: Success--A Constant Quest)
By Sounantha Phoumarath

When you don't get your wish today, what do you pray for tomorrow?
When you crawl after your big fall, do you hesitate before you run again?
When you stumble upon a "no," do you know that it might be just a cruel blessing?
When you decide to take action, can you see the reaction as a worthy consequence?

Some of us have talent for success, while others have talent to suppress.
Some of us set our goals against the sky, while others struggle to try.
Success does not demand a whole lot--just everything you've got.
Success is not biased to the educated, but maintains affinity for the most dedicated.

Take time to reflect on what you have and what you know.
Take time to explore new opportunities to help you learn and grow.
Believe in the possibilities, especially your dreams made of pipe.
Believe you will taste the fruit of your efforts, when your timing is ripe.
