NO WAY OF KNOWING
People Who Constantly Complain
About The Opportunities They Have Missed
And Who Insist On Explaining
Their Troubles And Tough Times
To Audiences With No Ears
Must Believe In Their Crystal Balls

Scholars, Spiritualists, And An Assortment Of Sages
Claim That It Is Difficult To Determine
The Exact Set Of Circumstances
Or Know The Number Of Ingredients It Takes
To Completely Achieve Our Desires

It Is Hard To Know For Sure
The Importance That A Single Event
Has On The Life Of An Individual
Or To The Survival Of Oneself

One Event Or An Isolated Cause
Is Seldom The Sole Source
From Which Our Successes Spring

The Birth Of An Excellent Idea
Will Never Grow To Maturity
And It Will Remain An Island To Itself
If It Insist On Evolving Alone
Without The Contributions Of Other Concepts

When One Attempts To Travel
On The Road To Achievement
He Has No Way Of Knowing
If The Course He Has Chosen
Will Lead To The Good Life
That Is Compatible With His Plans

Even Though We May Follow
A Tried And Tested Formula
That Has Led Others To Their Fortunes
There Are No Guarantees That Our Traveling
Will Take Us All Of The Way
To The Place Where We Can Prosper

What One Chooses To Do Each Day
To Achieve A Personal Dream
Is Often Based On A Belief
That His Individual Acts
Can Help Him Accomplish The Goals
He Has Set For Himself

Our Failures And Successes In Life
Are Ephemeral And Untrustworthy
And They Are Unreliable Tools
For Predicting The Future
Before It Unfolds
