Motivational Poem and Quote

I am not what I ought to be I am not what I want to be, I am not what I am goign to be, But I am thankful that I am better than I used to be.
John Newton


If we might have a second chance to live the days once more, and rectify mistakes we've made to even up the score.

If we might have a second chance to use our knowledge gained, perhaps we might become at least as fine as God ordained.

But we can't retrace our steps, however stands the score. Tomorrow brings another chance for us to try once more.

Believe
By Wish Belkin, © 2002

Believe in rewards that await you, believe in the harvest in store.

Believe that the spring will awaken, believe you'll be sowing once more.

Believe that there's a tomorrow, where no one cares if you can't dance.

Believe in the future's promise, each new day brings a new chance.

Believe you can make you goals happen, they're just dreams with a deadline attached.

Believe that you have the power, believe that you're more than a match.

Believe in a shared existence, you're not alone this is true.

Believe that right now there is someone, who believes in the wonder that's you.


I am only one, But I still am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
Edward Everett Hale


Things Work Out
By Edgar A. Guest

Because it rains when we wish it wouldn't, Because men do what they often shouldn't, Because crops fail, and plans go wrong- Some of us grumble all day long. But somehow, in spite of the care and doubt, It seems at last that things work out.

Because we lose where we hoped to gain, Because we suffer a little pain, Because we must work when we'd like to play- Some of us whimper along life's way. But somehow, as day always follows the night, Most of our troubles work out all right.

Because we cannot forever smile, Because we must trudge in the dust awhile, Because we think that the way is long- Some of us whimper that life's all wrong. But somehow we live and our sky grows bright, And everything seems to work out all right.

So bend to your trouble and meet your care, For the clouds must break, and the sky grow fair. Let the rain come down, as it must and will, But keep on working and hoping still. For in spite of the grumblers who stand about, Somehow, it seems, all things work out.


RISK
By Fran Watson

Do not be afraid to shine. This world needs what you have to give. Open up the areas of your being; Expose them to yourself - to others. You are valuable. You are unique. You have much to give. Do not be afraid to give it.

As we risk ourselves, we grow. Each new experience is a risk. We can try, and maybe fail, And, as a result, grow- Or hold back and stagnate.

You have the potential To be anything you want. You are free to choose. You are limited only by your fears. Let your dreams take over. Fly with the eagles. Soar into life. The world is waiting for you

Robert Frost: Motivational Funny Quote The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them. George S. Merriam: Motivational Funny Quote The sense of humor is the oil of life's engine. Without it, the machinery creaks and groans. No lot is so hard, no aspect of things is so grim, but it relaxes before a hearty laugh. Norman Vincent Peale: Sales: Motivational Quote Life's blows cannot break a person whose spirit is warmed at the fire of enthusiasm. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Sales: Motivational Quote Let us, then, be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor and to wait. "The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it."
Pearl Buck

Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work."
Peter Drucker

Mark Twain
There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.

Harvey C. Fruehauf
There's no ceiling on effort!
"Every time I stepped on the field, I believed my team was going to walk off the winner, somehow, someway."

"I've always found that the speed of the boss is the speed of the team."

To be your friend was all I ever wanted, to be your lover was all I ever dreamed.
