Aim high

As high as you can

Not for the big reward at the end

But for what you will become

in the pursuit of it.


Wanting to summit Everest,

Wanting to become a billionaire,

Or wanting to win a gold medal for your country,

Its not about the summit,

not even about the billion in dough,

and definitely not about the gold.


The reward is the person you become

in the pursuit of such lofty goals

The person you are supposed to become

with your one life.


In not doing so,

someday you will die,

having never known the joy of growth,

having never lived.

By Arjun Kramadhati

This is me. As Charles Bukowski would put it - born like this, born into this. I don't like to talk about myself. I am afraid this is all you are getting now. I like to express myself through my poems, and stories and very soon another novel. I love you, my darling reader. So read on.
