How to be grown-ups without messing things up?

If my children ask

How to be grown-ups without loosing innocence?

and that, if my children ask

How to be successful without being a bully?

How to be successful without being mean?

How to be successful without being a sycophant?

How to be successful without being cruel?

In a world made of snobs, quacks, and tyrants.

How to answer those questions without lying?

Truth is my children

You will break things before you can fix them.

You will remain innocent even it's only one percent.

and to keep in mind that

A true successful life is earned through and tested by time,

where no snobs, quacks, or tyrants can survive.

A true successful life reflects the quality of its owner like a mirror,

where the mean, the fake, and the cruel cannot endure.

Truth is that my children

The answer is so simple that you should fear not to take.

That one day you will be grown-ups

Beaten yet wised-up by all your mistakes.

That you will be grown-ups

Washed yet glow from the innocence you kept.

Innocence guarded by your courage to remain wise and kind, honest and humble.

So you shall live a life of success carried by love and wonder in your own unique way.
