Michael Schumacher?                     Don't follow, but admire him...

 The world is not moving fast enough to succeed-

Whatever it has achieved, have been long breed.

Even the galaxies never clashed without purpose,

The cosmic forces have planned them in advance I suppose!


The knowledge of direction is a must-

Howsoever you want to move fast.

Speed enough is a mistake in haze,

Don't do anything for craze!


The tortoise won the race in the story-

Planned things are sure to achieve glory.

Career planning, manpower planning, succession planning,

Are all but examples of gradual speeding?



Are you a fan of speed-star Michael Schumacher?

The ideal thing for you will be not to follow him but admire him and explore him. He has not achieved his status simply as such but has been determined, planned and acted on everything in advance. He started karting at the age of four...

One might wonder with the simplicity of the poem and that it has nowhere talked about the icon man of speed except the title. This justifies the moral character of the poem and attempts to establish that the key behind the success of your dream man rests on the simple formula of being objective and dedicative in life. Schumacher knew from the age of four what he wants for in life.

The poem is short and brief and spreads the message of "Look before you leap", in the very usual way you might have heard so many times before also. But it is like the old wine served in a new bottle  (with its title) that has a rich taste and is an attempt to inspire you recalling your dream man.

The poem is mainly targeted for the teenagers of today while future planning their career keeping in pace with the world. Hasty decisios are spreading psychological depressions in a very big way and we often speak of moral counseling.

It is interesting to note the very first line of the poem, which is contradicting speed in an unusual way when the title owner is synonymous with the speed itself...
