My feeds are not being updated in Google Reader and in blogrolls so please take note and do check my blog directly by clicking the blog link or in feedburner subsriptions. I figure it is a blogger issue and have alerted blogger about this. Thanks for your patience, understanding and cooperation. Here's an inspiring poem I'd like to share while I write my next post. Do swing by again later. Thanks! Have a great evening.


The Man Who Thinks He Can

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 a cinch you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the 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 ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.

By WALTER D. WINTLE, “The Man Who Thinks He Can.”
—Poems That Live Forever, comp. Hazel Felleman, p. 310 (1965)

    ahoo If there is a will there is a way. The world out there doesn't owe us a living and if we are waiting for gold to drop from heaven, the right place should be at the end of the rainbow.

    But the greatest of all is the ONE, who spoke and begins the creation process !

    Maybe typo errors herein :

    Life’s battles don’t always go
    To the stronger or faster man;
    But soonER or lateR the man who wins
    Is the one who thinks he can.

    Unknown Dear Ahoo

    I believe that mental strength, determination and perseverance maketh a man. Without the right perspective and attitude, the battle is lost even before we start going into the battle field.

    The minute we believe we can, I reckon inner strength develops and propels us to be more than who we are.

    And if we think we cannot, that's the end of the story.

    Thanks so much for your comment that resonates with the post. May you continue to be a source of inspiration in my humble blog which is constantly infused by the your sincere and wise input.

    God bless you and yours always!

    Cheers!
