Never Weaken

Howdy from the land flat tractor tires and pulled neck muscles!

Only those that try will get anything done.For those that make no effort, nothing will be gained.

I may have told you this before but I read a book about Gunnery Sargent Carlos Hathcock, who was a sniper in the Marine Corp. In this book was a quote that hangs in my office---------I like it

" It is not the critic that counts. Not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better.The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood. Who strives valiantly;who errs and comes up short again and again,who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause:who if he wins knows the triumph of high achievement and who, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Sometimes I forget just how strong that message is. Sometimes I fail to realize just how powerful the human will can be.

Me,I've set a goal, and come hell or high water I'm gonna get there.
