An Inspiration


A new day with every morning brings new thoughts and goals.
As a simple human being I start my day thanking GOD for everything and asking for little more :-)
Health, wealth, happiness and prosperity
Among the Top 10 items asked for.
 A part of me tried to think differently and said -
What do I ask for each time I pray?
Its always health, wealth and success on my way.
But I thought of being little different today
Asked, "Give me troubles, pain and hurdles to start my day."
You might think I am mad and crazy
I smile and say -
I am brave and have the courage to cut diamonds in my way
What I am asking for is enough strength and patience day by day
Make life colorful in every kind of phase

Just like those beautiful fishes spreading colors as they swim every day
Despite being aware of the dangers approaching as they sail away

...................IF........................

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
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 meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

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 breathe 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!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' 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!
