Everyone own their unique life and career, everyone want to success right the way, but there are all kinds of difficulties waiting for them while they are walking toward their goal, especially for all the businessmen. After reading the poem “The Journey” (Mary Oliver), I can isolate this poem with the process to become a successful businessmen, and I develop it in three parts. The first, finding out what the real business is, then, dealing with all kinds of challenges, finally, realizing what kind’s life is called good life and how to live with it.

To begin with, people know that it’s hard to working on some business and even harder to build their own business, and people always start their business by learning what the business is. As Mary mentioned in her poem “The Journey,” “One day you finally know, what you had to do, and began.” Once people decide to work or run their own business, they will have chance to learn why they need to do this, but most of them spend lots of time to think rather than make it into actions. The only reason for this, because they think of too much element factors from outside, they need to take care of themselves and their family. Besides, all human beings make mistakes especially for the new businessmen, so, people will talk about it, when they see mistakes and problems. It’s impossible to kill all the gossip, because others are not only talk in front of you, some talk “behind” you. “Kept shouting, their bad advice though began to shake,” (Oliver) this is the quote which demonstrate people around are talking about everything, good and bad. As all known, either good or bad can be effected to single person or a company. Considering all the gossip as challenges, which is a good thing, because people can only meet some challenges when they are improving. So, be glad to be talked, because others care.

After solving amounts of problems, a smart businessmen will know how to deal with these challenges. Every businessmen are ambitious of success, they don’t want to fail, but some success, and some are fail. “But you didn’t stop, you knew what you had to do,” (Oliver) While working, you will fail for sure, but you can’t conclude it as you can’t do it, it fails only because you did not try hard enough. And, some fail because they don’t know what is wrong when they run their business. Some good businessmen will realize most of the problems in business are dealing with all different kinds of partner, and they are all people. So, a conclusion is coming up, the person who knows how to deal with people, they are easy to get their business done in most of the time. Besides, Creativity is important for people’s business, therefore, some will agree, some will against. But keep doing the thing and do not get disturbing by others. The only way to get rid of all kinds of judges is trying to ignore it. “As you left their voice behind, the stars began to burn,” (Oliver) which illustrates all the “voice” will be gone as long as ignoring it and keeping working. After solving all the problems and dealing with all the challenges, there is a brighter future along the road in the end.

Finally, it is last lesson for all businessmen, which is learning what kind’s life is called good life and how to live with it. In the poem “The Journey,” “And there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own,” (Oliver) people begin to hear a voice form themselves slowly, because they know what is meaningful life and how to achieve it. First, people know there are more people are waiting for helps, and they are living worse than most of people in the society. As a successful businessmen can help their arounds, even entire society, for example, they provide more opportunities to people who do not have job, and they even do charity to appeal people who can donate money or anything. Mary wrote about, “The only thing you could do determined to save, the only life you could save,” which express how a successful businessmen can live by keep helping others. There are lots of idols we can follow such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and George Soros, the total amount they have been donated is over £34 billion. (METRO News) They are the richest people around the world, who is the most successful men, they are doing it for reasons. That’s why we need to do good things. 

To sum up, it is hard to learn what business is, it is difficult to deal with business partners and it even harder to realize what kind’s life is good life. However, that’s all the process to become a successful businessmen, people are really understand it by experiencing it, and it is harder than what I have said. All the businessmen are trying to survive, everyone want to do a better job, but all of them can’t escape from all the challenges, just like people can’t get away from the stones along the road while climbing. Be clam and walk over it, success is not far in the future.
