Yes, You Can!

Try and try again
Can't do much, 
Can't climb mountains for sure.
With my average calibre,
Path is very obscure. 

Fitness, technique, will,
All qualities I lack.
Even on plain roads,
I lose track.

I'll fail miserably
What's the point to try?
I'm a dwarf,
I can't touch the sky.

Wait...You're telling me,
I'll rise, if I set my mind at it.
As winners always brace,
They never quit.

  44. Can't agree more. Life is all about change, to become better. One needs to keep trying every day to improve like the waves of the ocean constantly try to win against the land.

    Nothing is impossible. If Arunima - a volleyball player who lost her legs when she was thrown out from train - can climb everest, is there anything impossible?
