Seeds Of Greatness

I love this because it's clever and it's comprehensive.

Purpose, presence, promptness, preparation and perseverance.

Squash gossip, indifference, criticism, negativism.

Lettuce: Be true to ourselves,

be loyal and unselfish,

be faithful to our purpose.

Turnips: Turn up your enthusiasm,

conviction and determination. 

How do you grow seeds of greatness in the garden of your mind?
