A Word to Ponder On

There is still room for high adventure

Of attempting the impossible thing

What you need is aspiration without it

Seas would never had been crossed

Poles ascended, instead of braving the upper air

On the wings of wind

Man would still be creeping among the brutes

That perish, through aspiration mountains were surveyed

Island discovered and valley explored

Every researcher has a marked quality of it in his system

Nor was not the spectacle through which the past heroes

Viewed their services for their fatherland

In the great many cases

The untiring effort of the Allied Nations

The heroic services of athletes

The going of divers into the bottom of the sea

And the ascension of astronauts into the moon

The search for knowledge by the scientist

In the tropical forest of the land of Greenland

Are unique efforts of men on whom aspiration had prevailed

A man of aspiration is quite insatiate of his present achievement

He works his hand to the bone his philosophy is not equality

With anybody but blazing the trays for everybody

A man full of aspiration sees beyond his microscopic environment

His optimism for his course of choice can know mortal man ward off

His motto is Oliver Goldsmith

Where determination is predominant

Failure cannot dismantle the flag of success

He says to those who praise themselves

If what you did yesterday is yet big before you

You haven’t done anything today

Be a man of vision…an epitome of selfless ambition

Have aspiration for your discipline single yourself out

Of the multitude and strive to make a remarkable grade in your course of choice

By this you can become somebody for your family

Somebody for your nation and successfully retain

The divine service which you’ve relentlessly labored for

In the proper perspective leaving a mark in the annuals of history
