Who claims you are just one of many? Who says you're worth just a penny?

Exactly who,

makes you...

YOU?

Hi Gordon,

I don't know if I get all the nuances of this poem... However, one thing this does make me think about is personal responsibility.

Unless you take personal responsibility, you'll never be a success, in my opinion.

Blaming other people for all your problems might make you feel good in the short term... However, you're sacrificing your long-term success.

The reason why is because unless you take personal responsibility, you can't improve yourself!

Thanks Gordon!

Best wishes,

Dien
