(If this is your first time on this site, I recommend that you begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])

A Smile

Let others cheer the winning woman,
There's I hold worthwhile;
'Tis she who does the best she can,
Then loses with a smile;
Beaten she is, but not to stay
Down with the rank and file;
That woman will win some other day,
Who loses with a smile.

(Based on a poem of unknown authorship)

I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.
  • Think back to when you tried your hardest to win but didn't and were a sore loser.
    • List those times.
  • When did you graciously accept defeat?
    • List those occasions.
  • Try and recall how you felt after each.

A Smile

Let others cheer the winning man,
There's I hold worthwhile;
'Tis he who does the best he can,
Then loses with a smile;
Beaten he is, but not to stay
Down with the rank and file;
That man will win some other day,
Who loses with a smile.

Inspirational Quote

I found this quote at a wonderful site called "the modern goddess." I just had to re-print it.

“So, whatever you want to do, just do it….Making a damn fool of yourself is absolutely essential.”

-Gloria Steinem
