The way to succeed

Drive the nail aright, boys,

Hit it on the head;

Strike with all your might, boys,

While the iron’s red.

When you have work to do, boys,

Do it with a will;

They who reach the top, boys,

First must climb the hill.

Standing at the foot, boys,

Gazing at the sky;

How can you get up, boys,

If you never try?

Though you stumble oft, boys,

Never be downcast;

Try, and try again, boys,

You’ll succeed at last.

- Norman Macleod
