Success is the Bride of Endeavor
Here’s a little poem about success that I thought you might like: Success is the Bride of Endeavor It’s the coward who stops at misfortune, It’s the knave who changes each day; It’s a fool who wins half the battle, And throws all his chances away. There’s little in life but labor, And tomorrow may […]
Myself Poem
Myself by Edgar Albert Guest I have to live with myself and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able as days go by, always to look myself straight in the eye; I don’t want to stand with the setting sun and hate myself for the things I […]
See It Through Poem
Here’s another great Edgar A. Guest poem. When you’re up against a trouble, Meet it squarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders, Plant your feet and take a brace. When it’s vain to try to dodge it, Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer, […]

Upward reaching but implies a questUnending, for the things we […]

Take a pound of pluck and energy And mix with an ounce of thrift, Then forward-march to the heights ahead, And don’t be begging a lift. Pick out the hill […]
It’s All In A State of Mind
Here’s another great poem that I’m sure you’ve heard before. There’s a couple variations floating around the net, but this one appears to be the original. “It’s All In A State Of Mind” If you think you are beaten, you are, If you think you dare not, you don’t, If you like to win, but […]
What Is Success?
Here’s a nice poem worth reading: What Is Success? It’s doing your work the best your can, And being just to your fellow man; It’s making money, but holding friends, And staying true to your aims and ends; It’s figuring how and learning why, And looking forward and thinking high, And dreaming a little and […]
