Used to everything except reality

Familiar to everything except feasibility

Oliver Twist would have liked to have you for a brother

Because you always ask for more,

More mediocrity and nothing more!

You thought you would survive without being afraid?

You should have known even Roses have thorns

Your rosy fantasy just developed thorns and you are already running away 

At a speed faster than Usain Bolt.

You must be a Joker 

Do you think Kings and Queens reject risks?

Even Jack, the master of all trade, thrives for Aces?

Don’t get too familiar with your dreams

Because the moment you let courage slip out

Your dream becomes suitable for only sleep-overs

If you have a dream, say it loud to yourself like Martin Lurther King before the crowd

If you have a goal, believe it but work it out even when fear holds you hostage

Prisons are workshops for people whose lives are battle grounds for their dreams,

Ask Nelson Mandela and he would show you how he did it.

Jokes apart, you must be a joker!

If you ever think you are too ‘prepared’ to be post-paired with failure

Every journey is a risk, even life

So rather than stay at shore, sail on to your dreams

The horizon is wide enough to get you lost but far enough to bring you closer to the coast of your destiny.
