"I Choose The Mountain" by Howard Simon
The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer
The massive mountain makes its move
Beckoning me to ascend
A much more difficult path
To get up the slippery bend
I cannot choose both
I have a choice to make
I must be wise
This will determine my fate
I choose, I choose the mountain
With all its stress and strain
Because only by climbing
Can I rise above the plane
I choose the mountain
And I will never stop climbing
I choose the mountain
And I shall forever be ascending
I choose the mountain
The Greatness Within
Come out of past, problems and think about:
What you can do ?
What are you best at?
What you love to do ?
What are your dreams?
Realize your talent. You are capable of doing anything if you believe you can do it. Nothing can stop you, if you decided to do anything. All is in mind, if you make it believe you can, then you definately will.. Realize the greatness within you..
Grow Great By Dreams
The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman, "How have you done so much in your lifetime?"
He replied, "I grow great by dreams. I have turned my mind loose to imagine what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I awoke in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams real. While other people were saying, 'You can't do that, it is impossible,' I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted." As Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the U.S., said: "We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers."
They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter's evening. Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
So please, don not let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they are too impossible.
"Sing your songs, and dream your dreams, hope your hope and pray your prayer."
The Victor
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 your-self 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.

Glenn Cunningham
Glenn Cunningham’s story is, well, almost unbelievable. As an eight-year old he was caught up in an explosion in his native Kansas, which killed his older brother Floyd. His legs and feet were badly burned, and doctors recommended amputating his legs. Glenn had lost all the toes on his left foot, and the transverse arch of the foot was ravaged. The flesh on his knees and shins had been eaten away by the flames. His right leg was grossly misshapen and was now a full two inches shorter than the left leg. However, Cunningham was determined he would walk again, against the odds, and as he grew older dedicated his life to athletics. Cunningham competed in the 1932 and 1936 Olympic Games, winning medals and setting world records. At his peak, Cunningham also ran the four-minute mile, a feat that was deemed physically impossible at the time.
Cliff Young : The man who don't know what impossible means...
Cliff Young showed that age is no barrier when it comes to endurance, as he won the Sydney to Melbourne ultra-marathon in 1983 at 61 years old. Young was warned not to compete in the 875 kilometres event (544 miles) due to his age and the fact that the rest of the competitors were trained athletes, whilst he was a simple sheep farmer. However, against all the odds, Young dedicated himself to not only finishing the race but winning it also. Young used a slow pace throughout the event, trailing the leaders by some distance, but whilst the other athletes slept at night the elderly farmer continued to run and ended up victorious in a heart-warming tortoise and hare tale.
One of the most courageous things you will ever see on a running track !
You can tell a person what he can do or what he can't but you can't teach a person the courage he got inside of him....
Inspirational Stories About Giving Up
This is a story about how important is being persistent and never give up, no matter how many failures you have experienced in the past.
A man was spending his holiday in Africa. One day he watched the elephants passing by. To his great surprise these giant strong animals were being held only by a small rope, tied to their front leg. Obviously, they could easily run away any moment. However, they did not.
Then he saw a trainer and asked him, how could this happen that not a single elephant makes an attemp to break free. The trainer explained: „When the elephants are very young, we use the same size rope to tie them, and at that time it is enough to hold them. Gradually they grow up, get stronger, nevertheless they never try to get away, as they believe that the rope will still hold them.
The man was stunned. These strong animals could break free any time, but they did not, because they believed that this is impossible.
Sometimes people act like elephants, when they give up after the first failure. Remember, that failures are part of learning. If we want to succeed, we should never give up, but try and try again.
Courage of the famous failures.....
If they had quit, you might not able to see the lovely world around you......
