Stick to your task ’til it sticks to you;
Beginners are many, but enders are few.
Honour, power, place and praise
Will come, in time, to the one who stays.

Stick to your task ’til it sticks to you;
Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it, too.
For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile
Will come life’s victories, after awhile.

Stick to your plan and luck will come after a while, better to be lucky than clever.
