Say II will" and then stick to it.
That's the only way to do it.
Don't build up while and then
Tear the whole thing down again.
Fix the goal you wish to gain,
Then go at it heart and brain,
And, though clouds shut out the blue,
Do not dim your purpose true
With your signing.
Stand erect, and like man
Know 'They can who think they can.
Keep a-trying.
Had Columbus, half seas DER,
Turned back to his native shore,
Men would not, today, proclaim
Round the world his deathless name.
So must we sail on with him
Past horizons far and dim,
Till at last we own the prize
That belongs to him who tries
With faith undying;
Own the prize that all may win
Who, with hope, through thick and thin,
Keep a-trying.
