The Goose’s Gander

Writer's picture: Alixx BlackAlixx Black

What’s good for the goose is not good for the gander,

and while you play it loose I’ll work by a standard;

You dream and you plan and you try and you try,

but nobody supports you or stands by your side;

It’s not because you’re bad or because it’s insane;

They don’t support you because you play their game;

This arduous pursuit is not for the people pleaser,

but rather for the hardworking and dedicated dreamer;

Success isn’t defined by the total projects you pursue,

because success is in the recognized quality of work that you do;

That’s the difference between the pair of us:

You’re trying to build your repertoire in a rush –

and I am creating a brand that people can trust.

 

We have all been in a place where we’ve stood opposite of someone wanting the same thing as us, working for the same thing as us, but there’s a clear imbalance. The most important thing when reaching for your dreams is to remember this: quality really does matter far more than quantity. Quality work gets remembered; quantity work is just a filler until something else comes along.
