THE POWER OF A STRONG WILL

The world said : You are delicate, you can't do this
My mind said : No problem, I can
The world warned : This way will be tough and rough
My mind said : I want to test my skills and abilities
The world recommended : Follow this new trend
My mind said : Thank you, I will set my own trend
The world advised : Do it this way
My mind said : I will do it my way
Muscle power said : If you don't listen, I will beat you
My mind said : Want to taste my punch?
Money power said : If you don't obey me, I will kill you
My mind said : Even my dead body won't obey you!

The weak will go to God to ask what they want
But God will ask the strong-willed what they want
And all their wishes will be granted because-
Even Gods don't dare to say "NO" to the strong-willed!
The world will bow with respect to such people
Do you have the will to make it bow to you?

Comment by syed viquar on September 6, 2009 at 2:31am: A thoughtful and philosophical poetry through word. Greatness of mind is not shown by admitting small things, but by making small things great under its influence. He who can take no interest in what is small, will take false interest in what is great. There are but two powers in the world, the sword and mind. In the long run the sword is always beaten by the mind. Mind is ever the ruler of the universe. It is the mind that makes good or evil, that makes wretch or happy, rich or poor.
Mind is power and power is mind.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on July 19, 2009 at 9:17am: Thank you Minnie for your comments. These words are like my elder sister's advice. They really keep me on the ground. I know It is all about how you use your strong will. If you use it for doing bad things, you will never succeed. If you put it to good use, you will go places. And I have the wisdom to differentiate between good & evil.
Regards
Krishna

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on July 18, 2009 at 11:44am: Thank you Michael & MInnie for your comments.
Ask people who know me whether I am humble or not! Whether I have the wisdom or not, whether my work is recognized or not, whether I am loving & caring or not, Minnie. Strong will doesn't remove all these things! Strength comes from various sources. And all the things I mentioned above give me strength. If you are not strong mentally you cannot go forward & achieve anything in this world. Do you know Gandhi was humble yet strong willed? Mandela too is humble & strong willed? That is why they became so great.
Please visit my website http://www.kkartfromscience.com, read the descriptions of my work in kk's klassics & Art From Science sections & tell me whether I lack the wisdom of the humble.
My views & thoughts have origins in my experiences.
I am still learning & I keep learning till my dying day. I respect your views & think about them too.
Warm regards
Krishna
