IT
CAN BE DONE
Somebody said that it couldn't be done.
But he, with a chuckle, replied That,
"maybe it couldn't," but he would be one Whow
wouldn't say so til he tried. So
he buckled right in, with a trace of a grin On
his face if he worried he hid it. He
started to sing as he tackled the thin That
couldn't be done and he did it . Somebody
scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that; At
least no noe ever had done it." But
he took off his coat and he took off his hat and
the first thing we knew he'd begun it; With
the lift of his chin, and a bit of a grin, Without
any doubting or quiddity; He
started to sing as he tackled the thing That
couldn't be done, and he did it . There
are thousands to tell you it cannot be done There
are thousands to prophesy failure; There
are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The
dangers that wait to assail you; But
just buckle right in with a bit of a grin, Then
take off your coat and go to it; Just
start in to sing as you tacle the thing That
"cannot be done" and you'll do it! STATE
OF MIND If you think you're
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 you'll find success
begins with a fellow's will; It's
all in the state of mind. full
many a race is lost Ere ever a
step is run; And many coward fails
Ere ever his work's begun. Think
big, and your deeds will grow; Think
small and you'll fall behind. Think
that you can, and you 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 of faster man; B ut
sooner or later the man who wins Is
the fellow who thinks he can. Its
All In The State Of Mind! WHAT
WILL TODAY BRING? This is the
beginning of a new day. God has
given me this day to use as I will. I
can waste it or use it for good. What
I do today is important Because
I'm exchanging a day of my life for it. When
tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, Leaving
in its place something I have traded for it. I
want it to be gain, not loss; Good,
not evil; Success, not failure,
In order that I shall not regret the price I paid
for it Because the future is just
a whole string of todays. THE MAN
IN THE GLASS When you get what you
want in your struggle for self And
the world makes you king for a day, Just
go to the mirror and look at yours And
see what that man has to say. for
it isn't your father or mother or wife Whose
judgement upon you must pass, The
fellow whose verdict counts most in your life, Is
the one staring back from the glass. You
may be like Jack Horner 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. He's
the fellow to please-never mind all the rest; For
he's with you clear to the end. And
you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test If
the man in the glass is your friend. You
may fool the whole world down the pathway of years, And
get pats on the back as you pass- But
your final reward will be heartache and tears If
you've cheated the man in the glass. -Nothing
splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared to believe that
something inside of them was superior to circumstances.-
