    O friends, be men, and let your hearts be strong,
    And let no warrior in the heat of fight
    Do what may bring him shame in others' eyes;
    For more of those who shrink from shame are safe
    Than fall in battle, while with those who flee
    Is neither glory nor reprieve from death.

My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories.

The Impossible Dream
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear the unbearable sorrow

The Impossible Dream
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear the unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To write the unwritable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
The reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Whithout question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will be peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world would be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
