Analysis of Ahead Of The Curve



Philip you must try to study hard

History has shown that there is no
                  other route to success

In spite of what many might think

Limiting oneself on aspect of
                   studying does no good

Interesting to know that it's
                   documented well and many
                    now know that

Problems on one's route act as
                  nothing but a stepping stone
                  to higher things.

Open your heart to

Knowledge for
                     none is ever useless.

With all the strength in you, learn
                       like one

Under the influence of

Drugs that stimulate

Interest in whatever you are
                        interested in.

Limits yourself not, for truly
                         nothing is

Impossible to the mind eager
                         and willing to learn.

Enigma. that is what many have
                         attached to your person.

But, you must not let any success
                         get into your head.

Unless you are planning to end up
                         like those that allowed

Lucide dreams or whatever they
                         refers to that line of clarity
                      as humans call it to push them

Under like it happened to those

Others that stupidly believed

For-lornly that anything is

Over till it's truly over

Remember the pedigree of all
                     before you and learn from it.
