Fail and fail again,
Fail ever forward,

Success?
Accomplished?

What has man ever done on his own?
What idea was ever built on nothing but itself?

Change is built on a network of time, energy, and sacrifice.
The only true way to fail, is to quit.

Giving up is the end,
Preventing the continual effort towards the future, is its death.


Tomorrow is not promised,
The present is not honest,

Each day is a gift,
Do not get lost in the shift,

The past is a treasure of wisdom to be gleamed,
But it is not as simple as it was dreamed.

Sleep is not the end,
Only a turn around the bend,

Sleep is a comforting daily death,
While fear of something eternal takes away breath.


To have work to do is a man’s success,
To complete it is his death,

To grow and stretch and refine is his task,
To eat and drink and work is his joy.


Each day has enough trouble of its own,
So the challenges of today become the success of tomorrow.

Things are proved by the testing of time,
So then Man, is also.

Step by Step,
The Future becomes the Past,
The Trial becomes Wisdom,
The Impossible becomes Reality,

All when Perseverance finishes its work.
