The Success Ladder

Climbing the ladder of success
You are at your best.

Nice, helpful, considerate.
Then you make it to the top.

No need for niceness, helpfulness anymore.
Well think again, you never know what fate has in store.

The ones you treated badly, once you made it.
Will be the ones you meet on the way down the ladder.

So be nice, on the way up.
Be nice once you've reach the top.

And on your way down the ladder when you fall,
People will be nice.

Barb! The Success Ladder - very good message. The very ones we've hurt in the past, we might need for help in the future. You never know. Now I'm going off on a tangent. Intelligence gets you to success, but if you have a monkey on your back it could hurt your chances of prosperity.
