jkleman79 · August 2011

Hey everyone! Its another great start to an awesome day. =0) Its almost the start of another weekend as well. Lets all go out this weekend and get moving and use all of the tools we were given to succeed. Some of us hold all of this wonderful equipment and fail to use it. Lets all go out and make one good decision today. It can be simply takeing the stairs instead of the elevator, or having vegetables instead of fries. Lets not make it hard to achieve our goals on here. Set those daily goals and make one good one a day.

Cheers all!

Equipment (Edgar A. Guest Poem)

Figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You’ve all that the greatest of men have had,
Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes
And a brain to use if you would be wise.
With this equipment they all began,
So start for the top and say, “I can.”

Look them over, the wise and great
They take their food from a common plate,
And similar knives and forks they use,
With similar laces they tie their shoes.
The world considers them brave and smart,
But you’ve all they had when they made their start.

You can triumph and come to skill,
You can be great if you only will.
You’re well equipped for what fight you choose,
You have legs and arms and a brain to use,
And the man who has risen great deeds to do
Began his life with no more than you.

You are the handicap you must face,
You are the one who must choose your place,
You must say where you want to go,
How much you will study the truth to know.
God has equipped you for life, but He
Lets you decide what you want to be.

Courage must come from the soul within,
The man must furnish the will to win.
So figure it out for yourself, my lad.
You were born with all that the great have had,
With your equipment they all began,
Get hold of yourself and say: “I can.”
