Exhilaration Of Victory

"Accept the challenges,

so that you may

feel the exhilaration of victory."

General George S. Patton

The Victor

by C. W. Longenecker

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you 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 are out classed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of your-self before
You can ever win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

Courage & Strength

“Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.” ~Napoleon Bonaparte~ “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” ~Mahatma Gandhi~ That was exactly what I had experienced, when it comes to my study! I had in many occasions needed to persuade, remind or even encourage myself in believing that "I can do it". My motto was that "I have no knowledge of this subject, I am here to learn!". After going through the ups and downs plus nearly two years off study; in September this year I finally graduated.
