POEM FOR STRUGGLERS

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 for 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!

Vision of Community

Community visioning Many communities begin their visioning project by determining the vision or desired future. Others look at where the community currently finds itself before identifying the desired future. Both approaches have produced quality results in visioning projects around the country. However, starting with the vision statement is preferred because it sets a positive tone for the process from the very start. This process convenes residents holding very diverse perspectives who come into the process with personal agendas. By starting the process with the development of visual themes, participants recognize early on that despite the different views, there are many areas on which they all agree. Experiencing such a “win” early on in the process sets the tone for participants to work toward agreement throughout the process . A vision is a “stretch” In spring 1961, President John F. Kennedy, seeking increased funding for space explorati...

Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do. Showing off is the fool's idea of glory. As you think, so shall you become. Knowledge will give you power, but character respect. Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own. Having no limitation as limitation To hard circumstances; I create opportunities. The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering. I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

Martin luther king jr. sayings

The time is always right to do what is right Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that, hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that. Our lives begin to end the day when we become silent about things that matter. If you can't fly then run If you can't run then walk If you can't walk then crawl but whatever you do you have to keep going. I have a dream. Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole ladder. We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope. Injustice anywhere is the threat to everywhere, We are caught in an inescapable network mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny, whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
