Analysis of StrugGOALS”



“StrugGOALS”
Nicomedes S. Lumontad

Travelling in unchartered landscape,
Nostalgia and plans unceasingly echo.
Endeavoring hard and smart,
Frightened to be tardy on duty,
Work absences obliterate senses.

“Work to live” is a common notion.
Clinging to beyond survival mode,
Adapting to work exhaustions,
With mouths to feed and future to build,
Sufficiency and stability breathe success.

Grit and grace demonstrate gigantic leaps.
Adversity and cultural quotients are built in.
Self-control and effort pave the path of progress.
Employee or employer, desire molds mindset,
Wealth, time, health, and union satisfy one.
