The People That Think They Can!If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't!
If you like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch that you won't.
If you think that you'll lose, you've lost;
For out in the world you'll find
Success begins with a person's Will;
It's all in one's State of Mind!
If you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think High to Rise
You've got to be sure of yourself
Before you can win the Prize
Life's battles don't always go to
The strongest of fastest woman or man;
But sooner of later, the people that win
Are the People that Think They Can!
Who's to Blame?
This is a story about People named
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and
Nobody. There was an important job to be done and
Everybody was sure that
Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but
Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was
Everybody's job.
Everybody thought
Anybody could do it, but
Nobody realized that
Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that
Everybody blamed
Somebody when
Nobody did what
Anybody could have done.
p.s: I'm still trying to figure out this passage too...
Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low,
And the depths are high, and you want to smile,
But you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out,
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick in the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seems worse,
That you must not quit.
To be continued...
