I feel that luck is one thing

 I was smart enough to go through

 Dressed in overalls and meeting 

 Opportunity measured by

 Your most unhappy customers

 Who know something

 When nobody is looking.

The worst mistake a boss can make is

The opposite of love, the secret of business,

The trouble with learning from one acorn.

Miracles are nothing, the creation of any place

Worth going to arrive at a conclusion. 

Failing nineteen times, I’ve learned the one

Who brings out the best in me

Looks like an empty mind

With an open one to ask a better question. 

It’s indifference not to say well done

To get a better answer and start doing

The history of tomorrow nobody else knows

To be receptive of feedback. 

Anything worth doing is the name

We give our mistakes to see

What is right when you hit bottom. 

Success is how high you bounce

Successful people,

Your chances of success,

The key to success, and succeding.
