I found a peom called What Constitutes Success, written by Bessie Stanly in 1904. This poem is all about what qualities make a person successful. The point the author is trying to make is someone who is a good person, is considered successful. In this poem the authors says that someone successful left the world better than he found it. This means that the person helped the world become a better place and helped others. A person is only considerd successful if they enjoy what they are doing, someone isn't considered successful if they earn a lot of money, but hate their job. It doesn't matter if a person has a lot of money, a person is successful if they are truly happy. A successful person always did their best and they worked hard to achive their goal. Someone successful always looked for something good in everybody, they made a lot of friends.
Theme: A person is nhot successful if they are not happy with what they do, a person is successful if they enjoy what they do.

Another poem I found was called If, written by Rudyard Kipling. This poem is all about how you should remember all the good things that happened, and forget all the bad things that happened. Why let the bad things bring you down when the good things can make you happy? Another part of this poem explains how you should not care too much about the mean things people say to you, you should just ignore the bad things that happen. The author incluudes that if you fail, then you should try again. If you completely give up, then theres no chance that the task will get done. But if you keep trying, then there is more of a chance that the task will get done. In the last stanza of this poem, the author focuses on making the point that you should stay true to who you are and not not change because of who you are surrounded by.
Theme: Forget the bad things that happen and remembber the good things that happened.
