NOTE:On the Eve of this NEW YEAR, with the year 2007 Ringing Out and the NEW YEAR 2008 Ringing In,I wish to share with all the Readers of KAVITANJALI the following Thought to practice in the NEW YEAR which is just round the corner.This Thought is not my original and was composed by by an Annanimous writer.It made such a deep impression on me that over the last few years it has become habitual for me to read it out to myself on every such occasion of NEW YEAR EVE such as TODAY and carry it with me as a Thought To Practice as the NEW YEAR Dawns.
If You Think You Are Beaten,You Are
If You Think You Dare Not,You Don't
If You Like To Win but You Think You Can't
Tis almost Certain You Won't.
If You Think YOU Will Lose,You Are Lost
For Out Of The World We Find
Success Begins With A Man's Will
Tis All A State Of Mind.
Many A Race Is Often Lost
Even Before A Step Is Run
Many A Coward Fails And Falls
Even Before His Work Is Begun.
Think Big,Your Deeds Will Grow
Think Small,You Will Fall Behind
Think You Can, Am Sure You Will
Tis All A State Of Mind.
If You Think You Are Outclassed,You Are
You Have Got To Think High To Rise
You Have To Be Sure Of Yourself
Before You Can Ever Win A Prize
Life's Battles Do Not Always Go
To The Faster OR Stronger Man
And Sooner Or Later The Man Who Wins
Is The Man Who Thinks He Can.

Profile Of A Happy Man
Acknowledgement:Reproduced from the Original composed by SIR WOTTON.One of the few poems of poets of yester years that made a deep impression on me.
Blessed Is He In Thought And Action
Who Covetheth Not Another's Will
Whose Armour Is His Honest Traction
And Speaking Truth His Valued Skill.
Whose Passions Not His Masters are
Whose Mind Is Tuned To Self Within
Who Hath His Life From Rumours Freed
Whose Conscience Is His Strong Retreat.
Who Doth Pray To God Everyday
More For HIS Grace Than Gifts To Send
Who Spends His Time In A Harmless Way
With a Well Chosen Book Or Friend.
Such Man Is Free From Servile Bonds
Of Hope To Rise Or Fear To Fall
Lord Of Himself Though Not Of Lands
Having Nothing Yet Hath All.
