Beginners

What a valuable asset are the beginners
Precious tyros, rookies, novices
Bright with ideas
Alive with confidence
Unafraid, voluntary servants to dreams

Working hours upon end
Trying every option
Failing in most, and yet
Undaunted and resilient

Pressing on
Gaining experience, seniority, familiarity
And mediocrity

Yet some slim few
Radicals all, full of luck and serendipity
Gain great success and acclaim for themselves
And move forward the achievements of mankind
