Believe, You Can Do It

Believe, You Can Do It

Never say, "I'm beaten,"
For better or for worse.
Never say, "I'm defeated,"
Or you'll never quench your thirst.

No one's ever perfect,
Losing is in style.
So accept your defeat acquiescently,
And take it with a smile.

Never give up, never look back,
Be always on your feet.
Just say, "I must, I can and I will,"
And success will be your treat.

In life there are many chances,
It's always on the run.
So keep on moving, hoping and trying,
Until one day, you know you've won.

A Friend Is One

"A friend is one To whom one may pour Out all the contents of one's heart, Chaff and grain together Knowing that the Gentlest of hands Will take and sift it, Keep what is worth keeping And with a breath of kindness Blow the rest away." --- Author Unknown

The Ones Who Miss

"The ones who miss all the fun Are those who say, "It can't be done." In solemn pride they stand aloof And greet each venture with reproof. Had they the power they'd efface The history of the human race. We'd have no radio or motor cars, No street lit by electric stars; No telegraph nor telephone, We'd linger in the age of stone. The world would sleep if things were run By those who say, 'It can't be done'." --- Author Unknown
