Solution

Success

Real success is when you strive
for what you want
when you have that guts to flaunt
Not thinking about the world and wise
when you can alone suffice
With upright will and determination
where finally you reach your destination.
Real success is hard to find. But it's one of a kind.

You’ll never be brave.
If you don’t get hurt

If you don’t make mistakes
you’ll never be successful.
