Cooperate to graduate!

- There you go kids! That's the secret to success in school. I realize it's kinda sad, but it still... matters.

You may learn something different than the book says, see things that are outside your expected experience, be involved in situations that make you uncomfortable - but, trust me - now is not the time to become THAT person. Well, unless you see an act of outright MURDER. Murder is always... BAD, and you should NEVER cooperate with MURDER. :banghead:

Carry on.

The Victor

by C. W. Longenecker

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you like to win but think you can't,

It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.

For out in the world we find

Success begins with a fellow's will.

It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are out classed, you are.

You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win the prize.

Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man.

But sooner or later, the man who wins

Is the man who thinks he can.

(My Dad taught me this poem when I was a child - more than half a century ago!)

I have also found this poem to be attributed to Walter D. Wintle. I don't know which is the true author.

To live a successful life avoid comparing yourself to others. Instead, compare yourself to the previous YOU and strive hard to become a better YOU.

" To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." -Emerson
