Comeon get going...

First win, then go to War -
Sun Tzu, Chinese warrior and philosopher, 500 BC

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not; you don't.
If you like to win, but you think you can't;
It is almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out of the world we find.
Success begins with a fellow will;
Its almost in the state of mind.
If you think you are out closed, you are ;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before;
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battle don't always go ;
To the stronger or the faster man.
But soon or later the man who wins;
Is the man who thinks he can.

Remember that your only limitation is the one that you setup in your mind.
So go ahead and be a winner.

The man in the glass

A beautiful poem by Dale Winbrow.....

When you get what you want in this struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Then go to your mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.

For it isn't your father your mother, or wife,
Whose judgment of you - you must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life,
Is the guy staring back in the glass.

He is the man you must please - never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end.
And you have passed your most difficult and dangerous test,
When the man in the glass is your friend,

You can be like another and chisel a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum,
If you can't look him straight in the eye.

You can fool the whole world, down the pathway of years,
And get pats on your back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears,
If you've cheated the man in the glass.
