“Ambition in Motion (The Sonnet)

Come hell or high water,
Never let caution cripple your feet.
Better to fall hard and learn a lesson,
Than speculate forever with couched feet.

Everything I've achieved is by trial and error,
There was no handbook to aid my mission.
Maps to known paths are available plenty,
But there is no map to uncharted destination.

You are the handbook to your ambition,
Not your background or family treasures.
If you persist long enough, at some point,
Your persistence will outrun your failures.

Better fail than frozen - failure is the foundation.
Failure is the first sign of ambition in motion.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yarasistan: My Wounds, My Crown
