Goooood morning/evening all! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. For all the holiday folks I hope all your fingers are intact. So for most of this is our start of the week. A start again to a new week a new beginning so we need to set ourselves up for success. To do what needs to be done to be the best we can and to be healthy. To make at least one great decision everyday. The poem on here today I heard many years ago at a sales seminar and always love it. For me though I can still here that guy on stage screaming these words with the deepest passion ever. Yet they have stuck with me for this long because they mean so much and I want you to read these today all fired up and ready to go!!! Think of it as a pep talk from the coach at half time. LETS ROCK IT!!!! =0) Love ya all!

The Will to Win
by Berton Braley

If you want a thing bad enough

To go out and fight for it,

Work day and night for it,

Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it,

If only desire of it

Makes you quite mad enough

Never to tire of it,

Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it,

If life seems all empty and useless without it

And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,

If gladly you'll sweat for it,

Fret for it,

Plan for it,

Lose all your terror of God or man for it,

If you'll simply go after that thing that you want

With all your capacity,

Strength, and sagacity,

Faith, hope, and confidence, stern pertinacity,

If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,

Nor sickness nor pain

Of body and brain

Can turn you away from the thing that you want,

If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,

You'll get it.

P.S Newbies there are more of these posted under this subject line.. Well all the cool people on here that well have been there and done that and are making it happen. Lets share! =0) Cheers!
