Great statement. This work, to me, encouraging the best from somebody, put as is preparing those who strive in their efforts, expect failures, as well. This write hits those pockets, stirring its reader to dig deeper. All these views being stated in my own given opinion.

And it's an opinion I appreciate with all my heart. As I was doing the research for it, there was one motivational speaker who said we NEED to fail in order to want to achieve, and that really struck a chord with me. Thank you for this terrific review.
Comment from teafor2
Unknown author, this an excellent list poem of motivation for not only youngsters, but any and all who would seek to gain their dream...Not preachy but adamantly citing luminaries who didn't give up when faced w/adversity. There are names on this list who I am quite familiar with, but
didn't know their story/struggle...Thanks for the enlightenment and good
luck in the contest teafor2

Same! Like, I had no idea that Michael Jordan had been CUT FROM HIS HS BASKETBALL TEAM?? It seems unimaginable, right? But he said it was the best thing that coach could ever have done. And he also credited his mom for not interceding whatsoever. She just told him, "You've got to work harder." Moms today might not be that wise.
Anyway, thank you for this really, really review. I appreciate it immensely.

You are "...really really..." welcome:)

This is very informative but uses language easy to understand. Perfect for children! There are many routes to the same destination, unless you've tried them all and carved your own, you haven't truly seen how far you can go.

Oh, wow! Well put! Thanks for the terrific review!
Comment from juliaSjames
This is a motivational poem that will resonate with children from five to ninety five. Like Oh the places you'll go ( if that's the title) by Dr Seuss. The latter was read to my grandson from the time he was three.
Best wishes in the contest and thanks for inspiring me and all who read this poem to give dreams one more go!
Blessings, Julia

"It's yours for the taking.
Say YES to Success" Mmmm, I'm still thinking about it.
"great people had their woes?" No, you don't say! Really??
"Told: "You lack creativity!"
Did that make him sob?" I would--bawl my heart out.
Very nice motivational poem here--and not just for kids either. Good luck in the contest!

Nooo! GoWist, you can't be giving people that kind of power over yourself. Don't let ANYONE make you cry! Square those shoulders and get back in the ring for another round. Be a bulldozer! Crying solves absolutely NOTHING.
Thanks for the super review...even that little teasing part about "great people had their woes? No, you don't say! Really??" You know this content is for "kiddies." They don't always understand that life isn't easy for the famous among us, you little smarty-pants! hahaha.

This is such an inspiring kid's poem: if at first you don't succeed, keep on trying. "Look what we would have missed out on..." I believe you will do well in this kiddies motivational poem. Best of luck.

I know most of these facts but your trying to make a point. It's cool your writing "do you know" stuff. I started doing the video "Do YOU know" series for both FS and FAR. They can be found under FanStory's Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Check em out when you get the chance. Your rhymimg is good. Keeping the readers interest is good. The overall story is good. Thanks for selecting my work to be with yours. Works well together. Great job overall.

When I read this I didn't know it was for the kiddies motivational poem contest.
Excellent poem and contribution to the contest.
I really liked this line...
Success is this:
TRY JUST ONCE MORE.
Good luck in the contest.

Thanks. It's still my mantra, and I'm no kiddie!
Comment from gansach
This is an excellent entry for the Kiddie Poem competition. I love reading about "failure to success" stories; they are so inspiring. And so is your poem. It has a nice rhyme and rhythm, great examples, and good advice. Keep trying, the only failure is quitting. Great job! Good luck!

Thank you for that. That was very generous.
Comment from Michele Harber
This is wonderful. I love the idea behind it, as well as the execution. You've obviously done a lot of research, and I appreciate that you've boiled it down to a level that children will understand. This is definitely very encouraging and motivational--perfect for the contest, and perfect for letting our kids know what you can accomplish if you try.

Thank you for your enthusiastic review. So many times we hear that juuuuuust when someone was going to give up, he or she gave it one more try...and voila! To me, it the most crucial of life skills.
I really appreciate your kind words here.

My pleasure, especially considering how much I enjoyed your poem. I've been trying for a while to get a children's book published, and I've gotten many rejections, yet I continue to try. Sometimes, I do consider giving up, but poems like this will definitely help me to continue trying.
