| Sample poem: |
| Act as If… Act as if you are confident – even if you are not. Confidence, you will find, is a state of mind, the fulfillment of attitude evolving with time. True confidence is a trait of character, not a boastful or prideful talk. Always act with sincere humility, then with true confidence you will walk. Act as if you are affluent, even when you’re the beggar in need. Wealth you will find, will often leave you behind, if it’s attainment will make you unkind. True wealth is not measured with money, but with love, and knowledge and health. Act as if you’re least of all men, and then you shall find true wealth. Act as if you are noble, even if your nobility’s numb. Act as if you are a servant, even if your own kingdom has come. When you act “as if” you are foretelling your fate, your future is already known. Act as if it is possible, and the seeds of fulfillment are sown.

| Here is another poem from the book: |
| Where Are the Men? Where are the men who valiantly fought, for freedom and virtue and truth? Where are the men who are honest at heart, who are pure as the innocent youth? Where are the men who openly weep with women when they mourn? Where are the men who are strong as an ox, and gentle as a newborn? Where are the men of character, stalwart, faithful, and true? Where are the men who love their wives and never their vows would undo? Where are the men of substance, of honor, and pride, and self worth? Where are the men with courage, to stand up and challenge the earth? Where are the men with manners, with morals, and values, and heart? Where are the men unafraid to be men who are willing to do their part? Where are the men who are manly men, gentle, noble, and true? Where are the men who know what it means to be men? Are there really so few who know what real men do? Let us be men, courageous men unafraid to do our part. Let us be stalwart, faithful, and true, with morals, and values, and heart. Let us be men with standards, convictions, faith, and love. Let us be good men and great men, with assistance from above. Copyright © 2012 by Jerald Simon – All Rights Reserved |
