Success
Berton Brailey
 If you want a thing bad enough
  To go out and fight for it,
  Work day and night for it,
  Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it
  If only desire of it
  Makes you quite mad enough
  Never to tire of it,
  Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it
  If life seems all empty and useless without it
  And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,
  If gladly you’ll sweat for it,
  Fret for it,
  Plan for it,
  Lose all your terror of God or man for it,
  If you’ll simply go after that thing that you want,
  With all your capacity,
  Strength and sagacity,
  Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,
  If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,
  Nor sickness nor pain
  Of body or brain
  Can turn you away from the thing that you want,
  If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
      You’ll get it!
