ing lines:
The man who wins Is the man who
does,
The man who makes things hum and
buzz,
The man who works andj the man who
acts,
Who builds on a basis OF solid facts:
Who doesn't sit down to mope and
dream,
But humps ahead with the force of
steam:
Who hasn't the time to fuss and fret,
But gets there every time-you bet
The man who wins is the man who
wears
A smile to cover his burden Of cares;
Who knows that the sun Will shine
again,
That the clouds will pass and we need
the rain;
Who buckles down to pile OF work,
And never gives up and never will
shirk
TIL the task is done and the toll made
sweet,
While the temples throb with tho red
bloods heat.
The man who loses is he who moans
That the way is rough and he breads
the stones;
Who Is looking for something soft to do
Where the pay Is big and the hours
are few;
Who dreams of this and dreams OF
that,
But never sails in and throws off his
hat;
Who fears the feel Of drop of sweat.
And never gets anywhere-you bet.
The man who wins is the man who
climbs,
The ladder Of life to the CHEEKY chimes
or the bells of labor, the bells of toll.
And isn't afraid that his skin will spoil
If he faces the glare of the shining sun
And works in the light till his task Is
done
