Words from Coach…

 

That's Success!
    by Berton Braley

 

It's doing your job the best you can and being just to your fellow man;


    It's making money - but holding friends and being true to your aims and ends;


    It's figuring how and learning why and looking forward and thinking high and dreaming a little and doing much.


    It's keeping always in closest touch with what is finest in word and deed;


    It's being thorough, yet making speed; it’s daring blithely the field of chance while making labor a brave romance;


    It's going onward despite defeat and fighting staunchly, but keeping sweet;


    It's being clean and it's playing fair; it’s laughing lightly at Dame Despair;


    It's looking up at the stars above and drinking deeply of life and love.


    It's struggling on with the will to win but taking loss with a cheerful grin;


    It's sharing sorrow and work and mirth and making better this good old earth


    It's serving, striving through strain and stress; it’s doing your noblest - that's Success!
