If you think you are beaten...........you are
If you think you dare not...............you don't
If you'd like to win but think you can't.........
It's almost certain you won't
If you think you'll lose, you've lost ~
For out in the world you'll find
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of your 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 ever win a prize
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man
But sooner or later the one who wins
Is the one who thinks he can

I MAY NEVER SEE TOMORROW ~

I may never see tomorrow
There's no guarantee
And things that happened yesterday
Belong to history
I can't predict the future
I can't change the past
I have just the present memories
To treat as my last
I must use this moment wisely
For soon it will pass away
And be lost forever
As a part of yesterday
I must exercise compassion
Help the fallen to their feet
Be a friend unto the friendless
Make their life complete
The unkind things i do today
May never be undone
And friendships that i fail to win
May never more be won
I may not have another chance
On bended knees to pray
And i thank God with a humble heart
For giving me this day

THE GARDEN OF LIFE ~

First, plant 4 rows of peas........Promptness, Preperation, Perseverance and Purity
Next, plant 3 rows of squash....Squash gossip, Squash indifference, Squash unjust criticism
Then plant 5 rows of lettuce.....Let us be faithful to duty, Let us be unselfish and loyal,
Let us obey the rules and regulations,
Let us be true to our obligation, Let us love one another ~

No garden is complete without turnips.....Turn up for work, Turn up with a smile, Turn up with determination.............
To make everything count for something good and worthwhile
