Rather than getting aggravated about trying to condense a poem down by about 55 words or so,
it suddenly seemed to make logical sense to do two or three different versions of each poem.

How addictive the activity can be! Next thing you know, dozens of poems getting the same treatment.
May they serve as reminders that your best days are still ahead of you, beginning with this today.
Whatever today's date is, look at it: It's only going to happen one time in your entire lifetime.
Anything you only have one of... is that not something worth treating as if it's extra valuable?

If you wish for today to be a finger-snapping, toe-tapping star-spangled day, you already know:
"If it's to be, it's up to me."

Less talking, more doing. THAT'S a cornerstone of the Psychology of Shortcuts inside of you.
Less talking, more doing. You only have to add one percent more effort on this time around.
One percent is going to turn you into a genuine master in as little as a hundred days, hm?

This is a master secret of the universe. That means this works approximately every time.
MisterShortcut: "If you knew better, you'd do better.
Until then, imitate those repeatedly doing it better than you are."


MisterShortcut, a man of some renown,
had a mission to help people help themselves.
He traveled far and wide,
sharing his wisdom and advice,
with anyone who would listen.

He taught people how to think for themselves,
and how to take control of their own lives.

and how to achieve their goals.

MisterShortcut was a true inspiration,
and his words and deeds touched the lives of many.
he helped people to see that they were capable of anything,
and he encouraged them to never give up on their dreams.

One day, MisterShortcut came across a village
that was in the midst of a famine.
The people were starving,
and the animals were dying.

MisterShortcut was heartbroken,
and he knew that he had to do something to help.
he used his knowledge of the Psychology of Shortcuts
to come up with a plan to feed the people and the animals.

MisterShortcut gathered the villagers together,
and he told them his plan.
he told them that they could feed themselves and the animals.
If they worked together and followed his instructions.

The villagers were skeptical at first,
but they were willing to try anything.
They followed MisterShortcut's instructions,
and within a matter of weeks,
the famine was over.

is to ask more people more times each. That's alpha and omega.

and they celebrated their victory as if it were his, too.
MisterShortcut was happy, deeply grateful to have helped,
richer for having made some difference in the world.

We can all be heroes, one and all, all across our lifetimes... maybe even beyond, as well...
when we choose to be.






The man of many secrets and shortcuts that work, MisterShortcut,
had a mission to empower the populace.
He traveled far and wide,
disseminating his erudition and acumen,
to all who would listen.
Reading a book per day for 55+ years adds up,
and when you're smart enough to look for smarter people,
some of that wisdom and experience with success rubs off.

You cannot hear statements and secrets of success, year after year,
without tiny principles like "ACTIVE LISTENING" becoming quite natural.
"When you want to see someone 'eye-to-eye,' maybe learn to do it correctly:
Left eye should be matching left eye, or right eye lining up with their right eye.
Why in the world would you want to be oppositional... instead of truly seeing eye to eye?"

or "How absurd to comb or brush one's hair with one utensil, using only one hand.
That assures an imbalance in muscle development and dexterity, hand-eye coordination.
There are other reasons as well to brush your hair with two brushes at the same time.

Above them all is, of course, balance!.
"What we empower one side with, we wish to do to the other."

Since you cannot learn less about anything, learn more on purpose.
Whoever, whatever, wherever you are, you have an enormous power:
You can treat this hour like the last hour, or you can invest more.
Investing one percent more of yourself in this hour has many profits.

Shhh. Try it the way of the Psychology of Shortcuts of Masters and Millionaires.
When we imitate people repeatedly doing it better than us, we imitate their results.

MisterShortcut's mission was to help you to help yourself, using shortcuts of masters.

And how to take control of their own destinies.

And how to achieve their aspirations.

I have found that the poem is more concise and impactful with 144 lines.
Naturally, that's subjective. Still and all, look at all the considerations:

1) Message to share and encourage more of

2) Search engine optimization, known as SEO. Uniquity is valuable. When your content is relevant, and you have backlinks from other sites, there's utility in remembering that the number of unique terms on the page also influences to some degree the authority conferred to that page by search engines, including Google, of course.
b

3)Expression. Naturally, poetry is a form of expression. Sometimes thoughts, concepts, considerations may be imputed (erroneously) regarding harshness of an asseveration or positing of an observation with commentary. Rather than permitting harshness to be a fault of communication, transmogrifying those particular thoughts into poetry can mollify, and perhaps ameliorate any sense of sting. To reiterate, "harsh" is not known for association with pleasantries or pleasure. Mayhaps a poem or three might yield some ... er ... mollifaction? "Ah, how mollifactory, by Jove!" That invented term need not be confused with malefaction or malefactor, since they are closer to opposites in meaning than apposites. (Apologies, couldn't resist, didn't want to).
