Ep. 67: It’s the Plugging Away that will Win You the Day

When you're lost in the Wild, and you're scared as a child,     And Death looks you bang in the eye, And you're sore as a boil, it's according to Hoyle     To cock your revolver and . . . die. But the Code of a Man says: "Fight all you can,"     And self-dissolution is barred. In hunger and woe, oh, it's easy to blow . . .     It's the hell-served-for-breakfast that's hard. "You're sick of the game!" Well, now, that's a shame.     You're young and you're brave and you're bright. "You've had a raw deal!" I know — but don't squeal,     Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight. It's the plugging away that will win you the day,     So don't be a piker, old pard! Just draw on your grit; it's so easy to quit:     It's the keeping-your-chin-up that's hard. It's easy to cry that you're beaten — and die;     It's easy to crawfish and crawl; But to fight and to fight when hope's out of sight —     Why, that's the best game of them all! And though you come out of each gruelling bout,     All broken and beaten and scarred, Just have one more try — it's dead easy to die,     It's the keeping-on-living that's hard.   - Robert Service _____ Ret.
