One can work and toil to reach all of life’s goal.
Only to lose everything because of no self- control.

Another can do great things for all of Humanity
But when his life ends, his work does too- this is insanity,

What would happen if there was only one apple tree in the world but it didn’t produce any seeds?
Would not it’s purpose be short lived for failing to continue to meet the world’s needs?

There are some who start businesses from scratch building
massive empires receiving many compliments.
But everything comes to an end for failing to train successors before their retirements.

Our purpose is so great that it shouldn’t end when our life does  it shouldn’t vanish in the sand.
There should always be a successor trained to extend our purpose beyond our life span.

To not have a successor, one’s life is not long lasting but like a vapor.
Instead of engraving one’s life’s purpose on stone-it is written on toilet paper.

There is no need to have a Ph degree or be a college professor.
To understand that there is no success in life without a successor.
