what it takes to be rich

In the realm of riches, where dreams collide,

A tale of hardships, let me confide.

For wealth, my friend, demands a price,

A journey through challenges, both cold as ice.

To be rich, one must endure the grind,

A path strewn with obstacles, oh so unkind.

Endless hours, sleepless nights,

Sacrifices made for future delights.

It takes resilience, a heart of steel,

To withstand failures, wounds that won't heal.

For every setback, a lesson to learn,

To rise from the ashes, stronger, return.

Financial woes and debts that loom,

A burden that casts a shadow of gloom.

To be rich, one must navigate the maze,

Determined to escape life's crushing haze.

It takes perseverance in face of defeat,

To rise above challenges, never retreat.

Through trials and tribulations, one must persist,

A spirit unyielding, clenched fist.

Hard work becomes a faithful companion,

Laboring tirelessly, like a champion.

For fortune favors those who strive,

With sweat on their brow, they will thrive.

It takes sacrifices, bidding farewells,

To comforts and luxuries, those cherished shells.

Delayed gratification, a patient game,

To build a fortune, to conquer and tame.

Friends may question, doubts may arise,

But conviction within you, never denies.

For the hardships endured, a price to pay,

In pursuit of wealth, they shall fade away.
