See It Through, By Edgar Albert Guest    When you’re up against a trouble,     Meet it squarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders,     Plant your feet and take a brace. When it’s vain to try to dodge it,     Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer,     See it through!   Black may be the clouds about you     And your future may seem grim, But don’t let your nerve desert you;     Keep yourself in fighting trim. If the worst is bound to happen,     Spite of all that you can do, Running from it will not save you,     See it through!   Even hope may seem but futile,     When with troubles you’re beset, But remember you are facing     Just what other men have met. You may fail, but fall still fighting;     Don’t give up, whate’er you do; Eyes front, head high to the finish.     See it through!   Edgar Albert Guest was an American poet who was popular in the first half of the 20th century and became known as the People's Poet.

Whether you believe you can or you can’t you are right.  http://bit.ly/utapodcast   “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” ~Steve Jobs (1955-2011)   A game of inches speech https://youtu.be/9rFx6OFooCs   Text "athlete" or "coach" to (972) 236-5924.  

Out of the night that covers me,       Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be       For my unconquerable soul.   In the fell clutch of circumstance       I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance       My head is bloody, but unbowed.   Beyond this place of wrath and tears       Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years       Finds and shall find me unafraid.   It matters not how strait the gate,       How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate,       I am the captain of my soul.  

Invictus,
William Ernest Henley
