In this episode of the Poetry That Inspires Series, join Simerjeet Singh for a fun activity that will demonstrate a very important point about the power of focus and the neuroscience behind it. In an era of constant and instant connectivity and flood of irrelevant information which can overwhelm your mind, the ability to declutter and focus is a superpower. 

Berton Braley’s poem echoes a similar sentiment and will inspire you to move forward with faith and courage. Regards, TeamSJS

The Will To Win by Berton Braley

If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace and
your sleep for it

If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,
Makes you hold all other things tawdry
and cheap for it

If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,

If gladly you'll sweat for it,
Fret for it, Plan for it,
Lose all your terror of God or man for it,

If you'll simply go after that thing that you want.
With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity,
Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,

If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness nor pain
Of body or brain
Can turn you away from the thing that you want,

If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
You'll get it!
