Show ii ii HANGING ON (The Man Who Sticks) The man who sticks has his lesson learned; Success doesn't como by chance it's earned By pounding away; for good hard knocks Will mako stepping stones of tho stumbling blocks. He knows in his heaj-t that he cannot fail; That no ill fortune can make him quail, Whilo his will is strong and his courage high, For he's always good for another try. Ho doesn't expect by a single stride To jump to tho front; ho is satisfied To do ev'ry day his level best, And let the future take care of tho rest. Ho doesn't believe ho's held down by tho boss It's work, and not favor, that gets across So his motto is this: "What another man Has been able to handle, I surely can." For tho man who sticks has tho sense to see He can make himself what he wants to be. If ho'll off with his coat and pitch right in Why, tho man who sticks can't help but win! (The Man Who Quits) t J Tho man who quits has a brain and hand As good as tho next; but ho lacks tho sand That would make him stick, with a courago stout. To whatever ho tackles, and fight it out. He starts with a rush, and a solemn vow That he'll soon bo showing tho others how; Then something now strikes his roving eye; And his task is left for the 'bye and bye. It's up to each mun what becomes of him; He must find in himself tho grit and vim That brings success; he can get tho skill If ho brings to the task a steadfast will. No man is beaten till he gives in; . Hard luck can't stand for a cheerful grin; Tho man who fails needs a better excuse Than the quitter's whining, "What's tho uso?" For tho man who quits lets his chances slip, Just because he's too lazy to keep his grip, Tho man who sticks goes pithead with a thout, While tho man-who quits 3oins tho "Down and out." OSCAR T.
