We grow as business people, make mistakes , learn... fail, succeed.
Today is the most special day of all my ten years on the warrior forum... So exciting!
I wanted to share a line from Ruyard Kiplings Poem "If". Many times a line from this poem will be a theme for something Im experiencing. This poem has served me well through the years...and I have passed it on to many, and it has done many others well.
The lines in red are the ones that the inward man reminds me of today. On a particular day when its difficult to contain my excitement. "Balance".
" IF" - Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
