Ants Never Cry "Uncle"
Charles Ghigna
Consider the little ant.
He never says, "I can't."
And so it comes as no surprise,
He carries things ten times his size.
The Art of Start
Charles Ghigna
Don't search for inspiration when
You have a task to do;
Just start your work and you will see
That it will soon find you.
Best Laid Plans
Charles Ghigna
A plan is only good if it
Is one that gets recruited;
For good intentions soon will die
Unless they're executed.
Diamond Mind
Charles Ghigna
The promise of our dreams comes true
When patience minds our goal;
Remember that the diamond once
Was just a piece of coal.
Dreams Allowed
Charles Ghigna
Don't be afraid to dream aloud
The things you want to do;
Just saying what is in your heart
Will help your dreams come true.
Dream Catcher
Charles Ghigna
Allow yourself to fish each day
Within life's little streams
For that is where we often find
Just how to catch our dreams.
Fear Less
Charles Ghigna
Fear is borne of ignorance
Resulting in despair
While knowledge can provide us with
The hope we need to dare.
Finish Lines
Charles Ghigna
Success is never measured by
The things we try to do;
It only comes when we have seen
A task completely through.
The Game of Life
Charles Ghigna
Give all you've got in every game
Until your games are gone
For when your final game is played,
The game of life goes on.
Goal Tending
Charles Ghigna
To reach your greatest dreams in life
First set a worthy goal;
Choose one you can embrace each day
With all your heart and soul.
Going the Distance
Charles Ghigna
Success is not an easy road,
It's riddled with resistance;
While failure on the other hand--
The path of least persistence.
Goal Mind
Charles Ghigna
Success begins the moment that
You set your goal in place;
Take time to savor every step
For life is not a race.
Good Measure
Charles Ghigna
Success is often measured best
Not by how high or far,
But what you had to sacrifice
To get to where you are.
Headway
Charles Ghigna
Do not let fear confine your life
Inside a shell of doubt;
A turtle never moves until
His head is sticking out.
Heavy Mettle
Charles Ghigna
Adversity is what it takes
To see our goals ascend;
In order for the kite to rise,
It flies against the wind.
The High Road
Charles Ghigna
The path to inspiration starts
Upon the trails we've known;
Each stumbling block is not a rock,
But just a stepping stone.
In Sight
Charles Ghigna
Close your eyes and look inside,
A mirror shines within;
To find where you are going,
First see where you have been.
Integrity
Charles Ghigna
It leads us toward the truer path,
It answers many whys;
It shakes the truth out of its sleep
No matter where it lies.
A Jury of One
Charles Ghigna
Conscience comes from character,
From doing what is right
Even when you're all alone
With no one else in sight.
Key Issue
Charles Ghigna
To find the key to your success
Takes more than intuition;
It's not the key that's hard to find,
It's finding the ignition!
Know Excuses
Charles Ghigna
Giving it
Another try
Is better than
An alibi.
Lesson In Success
Charles Ghigna
If you should dare to try success
Consider this prerequisite;
First study unsuccessful deeds--
Then go and do the opposite.
Light Touch
Charles Ghigna
There's nothing gray about the truth,
It's simply wrong or right;
For shadows disappear from view
When we stand in the light.
Life Lines
Charles Ghigna
Life is what you make of it,
However great or small;
It can be used to take up time--
Or used to have a ball!
Never Give Up
Charles Ghigna
A loss becomes a victory
When you promise not to quit,
But a failure's just a failure
Unless you learn from it.
Practice Winning
Charles Ghigna
Winners practice everyday,
They do not quit or yield;
Before they win it in the game,
They win it on the field.
Remember to Forget
Charles Ghigna
Achievements often come when we
Forget our fears and try;
For that's when we accomplish what
We're most remembered by.
Response Ability
Charles Ghigna
Responsibility is our
Most favored point of view;
Responding with ability
To what we say and do.
