Success is failure turned inside out – the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and when you never can tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems afar; so stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – it’s when things seem worst, you mustn’t quit.
A CREED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED
I ASKED GOD FOR STRENGTH, THAT I MIGHT ACHIEVE. I WAS MADE WEAK, THAT I MIGHT HUMBLY LEARN TO OBEY …
I ASKED FOR HEALTH, THAT I MIGHT DO GREATER THINGS. I WAS GIVEN INFIRMITY, THAT I MIGHT DO BETTER THINGS;
I ASKED FOR RICHES, THAT I MIGHT BE HAPPY. I WAS GIVEN POVERTY, THAT I MIGHT BE WISE …
I ASKED FOR POWER, THAT I MIGHT HAVE THE PRAISE OF MEN. I WAS GIVEN WEAKNESS, THAT I MIGHT FEEL THE NEED OF GOD …
I ASKED FOR ALL THINS THAT I MIGHT ENJOY LIFE. I WAS GIVEN LIFE, THAT I MIGHT ENJOY ALL THINGS …
I GOT NOTHING THAT I ASKED FOR – – BUT – -EVERYTHING THAT I HAD HOPED FOR – -
ALMOST DESPITE MYSELF, MY UNSPOKEN PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED, I AM AMONG ALL MEN, MOST RICHLY BLESSED.

WHAT DO YOU THINK …
“Average” is as close to the bottom as to the top. Reaching high keeps a young man on his toes. A sharp tongue and a dull mind are usually found in the same head. Footprints in the sands of time are never made by sitting down. Always do right, this will gratify some people and astonish the rest. – Mark Twain A self-motivated player makes commitments; ordinary players make promises. The real secret of a successful athlete is the absolute confidence that he has in himself and in his abilities. If you want to see a child at his very best in learning all the important things in life, watch him at play. – Plato
