Old Ways Never Show The Right Hole

I tell them repeatedly:
"Some days a burst of the new sun rays is needed"
But, of course, its useless,
I also say:
"The best uniqueness takes you to the best path"
Again, they ignore.
They retrace the steps of successful ones, though they will never know that,
"Success lies in the eyes of one who has found a new hole to dig,
Digging in one that wasn't yours, will never fill the space you have skipped".
"It's never too late to dig a hole of yours,
Only because being what to dreamt to be doesn't depend on age".
"But on the thought on what you might have been long before you had the courage".
Don't worry if you are digging on someone's hole
Just remember:
"Starting with the smallest shovels,
Can take you to the deepest holes".
