beekeeper

To be successful, one has to be one of three bees - the queen bee, the hardest working bee, or the bee that does not fit in. One success is inherited, and the the next one is earned. While the last one is self-sought, self-served, and happens on its own terms.

THE THREE BEES by Suzy KassemA young boy once askedA wealthy beekeeper:__hat is the secret ofYour success?__he beekeeper simply smiledAnd replied:__o be successful,One has to be one of three bees:The queen bee,The hardest working bee,Or the bee that does not fit in.One success is inherited,And the next one is earned.While the last one isSelf-sought,Self-served,And happens on its ownTerms.___nd which bee are you?__sked the boy.The beekeeper then wipedThe sweat from his headAnd said:__he last may seem the riskiest,But the glory of achievementIs the most rewarding.Freedom always comes at a high cost,But only when you areYour own boss,Can you trulyAfford it._ (Suzy Kassem Poetry)
