A dedication to hard work, luck and most importantly passion...!!!

The poem is the original work of myself, Chetan Taneja, who has been inspired in this life to write about the importance of Hardwork, Luck and Passion. In no way, i want to demean any one of them compared to the other. I have just tried to express how i feel about these three factors that contribute hugely to any success. None can exactly comment on the proportional importance of each of these factors and thus, i can not hesitate to accept that i may be wrong in my assessment but can certainly not be wrong in my expressions.

It is a story of three friends,
One was luck and other was hardwork.
The third was passion who stood quiet in the corner.
Luck and hardwork fought for a cause,
with each holding himself superior than all.
Both had their success and both had their failures,
with each playing blame game with the other.
Hard work always complained,
even if i pass the person, the credit goes to you.
The luck himself complained,
when you fail the person, i share the blame for you.
Both had a fight for superiority and together with passion, they went to the God.
Luck favoured his win because he thought the God is associated with luck.
But he had forgotten that God is impartial.
God asked both that I am the supreme power, I am the God,
so, what would be the reason for my success at all?
Luck and hardwork again began to roar,
that it must be them that made God - God.
So, God asked again that I am the supreme power, I am the God,
but if i even fail who is to be blamed for the cause.
Both stood silent as none could share the blame,
but then stood passion alone in the stain.
He said to the God, that i am to be blamed,
for there can be no failures without lesser passion and zeal.
The god smiled and said, all can claim to be the reason for success,
but few can claim the responsibility for a failure.
Luck and hardwork understood the importance of passion,
but none could counter the importance of luck and hardwork.

On my special request, the poem has been edited by my very good friend, Mr. Pawan Kadyan. Mr. Pawan's blog is http://pwwwn.blogspot.com/. The edited poem is as follows:

Luck, Hardwork and Passion were three friends,
Luck and Hardwork fought as if there were no other ends.
Passion alone stood in the corner,
watching it all with little to bother.
They fought and fought with no result,
blaming one another for no fault of the other.
Hardwork complained in success that Luck stole his credit,
Luck vetoed seeking an apology for failure leading to his discredit.
To help solve it needed someone else's nod,
so with Passion alongside they sought the help of God.
Luck thought that now he had an upper hand,
Having forgot that God didn't favour anyone's stand.
God said, "I am supreme of'em all,
Who then for success is the cause?"
Luck and Hardwork roared, "It must be us",
as they made God who he was.
God asked again, "I am supreme of'em all,
Who then for failure is the cause?"
Both stood still as they didn't want the blame,
but up rose Passion the hero that he was.
Passion said, "Its me who is to blame,
failure comes to those whose passion does not flame.".
God smiled and replied, "to revel in success is everyone's ask,
but to burden the failure is a more difficult task.".
Luck and Hardwork had now understood,
the story is not complete had Passion not withstood.
No one could counter what Luck and Hardwork had to pass,
But without Passion it would always be an impasse.
