Life is too short to reminisce about the past,
Knowing that nothing will remain the same or even last.
Living life to the fullest is all i am going to do,
Because i do not want to end up being shot or looking like a fool.
Tomorrow is never promised but i will not have regrets,
Because I will not end up like my brother, I will be a success.
My life is changing as time passes by,
But i wont live life asking myself why?

Cesar,
I really like the authenticity and confidence in this poem. The author is both honest about the difficulties of life and the uncertainties that inevitably accompany them as well as confident in his/her abilities to rise to meet the challenge. Both of these qualities echo the title of your blog as well as your personality.
On a personal note, I'm not sure if "no regrets" is actually a possible goal. People make mistakes, and we regret them. It seems to be human nature. Without regret, I fear that instead of learning from our mistakes we will simply proceed in life flippantly. So, to me, having regret does not signify failure, but rather it serves as a sign of personal progress toward success.
