COME ON! WE CAN KEEP IT ALIVE!

HELLO!
i hope everyone had spent sometime thinking about what had happened yesterday...
ITS A BRAND NEW DAY TODAY! SO ITS A GOOD CHANCE FOR A CHANGE!

Here's something i found on the net and hope that it will encourage you to strive for the better :

Figure it out for yourself, my lad.
You’ve got all that the greatest of men have had,
Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes,
And a brain to use if you would be wise.
With this equipment they all began,
So start for the top and say, "I Can ."

Look them over, the wise and the great,
They take their food from a common plate,
And similar knives and forks they use,
With similar laces they tie their shoes.
The world consider them brave and smart,
But you’ve got all they had when they made their start.

You can triumph and come to skill,
You can be great if you only will.
You’re well equipped for the fight you choose,
You have arms and legs and a brain to use.
And the man who has risen great deeds to do,
Began his life with no more than you.

You are the handicap you must face,
You are the one who must choose your place,
You must say where you want to go,
How much you will study the truth to know.
God has equipped you for life, but He
Lets you decide what you want to be.

Courage must come from the soul within,
The man must furnish the will to win.
So figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You were born with all the great have had,
With your equipment they all began.
Get hold of yourself, and say: "I Can ."

19 MORE DAYS TO SYF
hang in there... don't give up! believe in yourself, trust your members to practice! we will be there!

Hang In There

Whatever it is you do in life,
Try to remember that nothing is too big to achieve
And nothing is too small to ignore,
Hang on in there, even if it's with the last thread,
It is well.

You may be on life's path
Not having an idea how and when you'll get there,
The most important thing is that you have a sense of direction,
All you have to do is to take each step one at a time,
And you'll get there.

The idea behind life is about meeting people,
The beauty of life is loving people,
The essence of life is about making impacts,
The joy of life is leaving footprints in the sands of time.

On your journey through life,
Absorb everything you hear,
But choose what you want to believe...

so.. remember! YOU CAN AND YOU WILL STRIVE FOR THE BETTER, IF YOU HAVE THE WILL! HANG IN THERE! WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY! DON'T GIVE UP!

i trust you to change and strive for the better... see you all tmr!
