Toughen up your outer skin,
should you want to succeed in life, and win.
Don't let the little things that people fail to say or do,
ever get the best of you.
For life's a game; it is what you make it,
so get to work should you want to partake of it.
Put on blinders; walk straight ahead,
rather than dwell on the negative words that someone might have said.
Demand respect, and respect you shall receive,
and when times get tough, never fail to believe.......in yourself.
For life's a game; it is what you make it,
and when in doubt you must learn how to fake it.
Thank God, and pray for his endless mercy,
and above all for patience; be not in a hurry.
So "keep on keeping on", even though there be doubt,
for it won't be long before he'll work things out.
For life's a game; it is what you make it,
and when you're down-n-out don't you ever forsake it.
"When the going gets tough, the tough get going",
the end result is up to you. So never give up,
but continue on, until the game is through.
