A TRIP TO SUCCESS By: Arleen M. Kaptur

Today'srepparttar 129602 day - our bags are packed and we are on our way. Our destination is SUCCESS. Our car has enough ENTHUSIASM inrepparttar 129603 tank and we checked our 4 MOTIVATION tires to make sure they are ready forrepparttar 129604 road. Our map is clearly marked and we even brought a snack bag filled with cans of PURPOSE and SPIRT as well as assorted snacks named GOALS and PASSION. We double-checked with our insurance carrier, RESEARCH, and we are ready to roll!

The day is bright and sunny andrepparttar 129605 road itself is a beautiful ribbon of smooth concrete. Driving conditions are perfect andrepparttar 129606 scenery is breathtaking. We come across our first road sign just up ahead. It reads TRY ONLY ONCE - THEN STOP HERE. We decide to keep driving. But nowrepparttar 129607 road is getting rougher andrepparttar 129608 scenery is starting to get a little bleaker. The clouds seem to be building up and it looks like rain is inrepparttar 129609 forecast. We keep on going.

There's a motel torepparttar 129610 right with some cars around it. It's called THE DESERTED DREAMS MOTEL. There's also a restaurant onrepparttar 129611 left called THE BAR OF LOST HOPE. We have our snack pack so we keep on going.

We are trying to beatrepparttar 129612 storm that is fast approaching. We notice a lot of abandoned vehicles alongrepparttar 129613 roadway, They seem dusty and old. We hit a huge pothole and our car shakes a little.We decide to pull into a service station called DETERMINATION. They check out our vehicle and we are on our way again. The road is now mostly gravel andrepparttar 129614 turns are getting narrower. It is rough and bumpy and our car is finding it hard to maneuver some ofrepparttar 129615 twists.

A very large building is just ahead. It appears dark and foreboding. There are no lights on but a lot of cars and people are there. The sign says WECOME TO THE HOUSE OF OBSTACLES. COME AND STAY AWHILE WITH US. We keep on going.
