-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is vital that we set high goals to achieve
and clearly work out each day's objectives towards those goals.
A noncommittal attitude will achieve next to nothing
and inevitably all that we will do is spin our wheels.
Until we achieve that great victory,
let's continue to put forth our very best
and never ever entertain the thought of giving up!
