A POEM

This is a poem written by Dr. Jugo in Madrid in the year 1989. This has become one of my inspirations to really go on inspite of difficulties and to believe in myself.



I'm Not Afraid of the Dark; What I Cannot See Cannot Scare Me.

I Don't Fear Failure, Since It Is Not an Option, and It Will Not Happen.

But All Throughout My Life, Nothing has Scared Me More than a Life of Absolute Mediocrity...

A Life Doomed to a Dull Ordinariness.

I Am Alive, and Therefore I am Here to Excel.

...And in the End of My Days

Let Me Leap into My Grave Proud and Laughing, Ready to Face My Lord

With the Wisdom in my Heart that Never Even Once Had My Life Been Ordinary.

And I Am Prepared to Be Tired Every Day of My Life

In My Quest for Excellence.

-Kai Jugo, Madrid, 1989
