PERSONAL MOTTO

Stick to your task until it sticks to you; beginners are many, but enders are few.
Honor, power, place and praise will always come to the one who stays.
Stick to your task until it sticks to you; bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it too;
For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile. Will come life’s victories after awhile.
