Poetry On Odyssey: The Pop Quiz: Facing The Obstacles Of Life
"Obstacles can be your launching point to propel you!"
"In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway where he hid and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the King's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but no one did anything to remove the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, he laid down his load and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he succeeded." -Tony Fahkry
Obstacles are present in everyday life, be it a barrier that sets you back, halts your progress or derails your best-laid plans. They are discouraging and cause the loss of precious time and resources. But here is a poem I would love to share that will help you make up your mind and walk boldly through them!
We all know that pop quiz,
That we take a couple of times,
That professors' hand to us by surprise,
Could figure out every question that is asked?
Could we solve the equation that is asked?
Could we analyze the text to the question that was asked?
Well, life is full of pop quizzes
Because we are assessed to solve life's issues and personal problems
Just remain calm and not solemn
It the common cycle of life
Where our faith is tried is multiple times
You will excel through each pop quiz
All you must do is pace
And you will easily ace
Remember it is not a race
Keep pushing through to find the right answers
Conquer all obstacles thrown
If you stumble hard, don't let it be shown
It will be finally known
That you made it through the pop quiz!
