Start Over

[Bear Murphy]

I Guess It's Good To Sometimes Push The Start-Over Button, So I Even Changed My Screen Name. Good Luck Ron!!!    Bear

It's all good Bear, the strength of Tow411 isn't the wealth of knowledge that resides within the forums. It is the wealth of knowledge that responds within the forum. The membership that has stood by this community during the ups and downs truly amazes. Tow411 is not gone, it has simply been empowered to move forward with a Force, a TowForce describes it well. One of my favorite poems by the author of the Optimist Creed sums it up rather well what is being done here.

 

It Couldn’t Be Done

By Edgar Albert Guest

 

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done

      But he with a chuckle replied

That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one

      Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.

So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin

      On his face. If he worried he hid it.

He started to sing as he tackled the thing

      That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

 

Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;

      At least no one ever has done it;”

But he took off his coat and he took off his hat

      And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.

With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,

      Without any doubting or quiddit,

He started to sing as he tackled the thing

      That couldn’t be done, and he did it.

 

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,

      There are thousands to prophesy failure,

There are thousands to point out to you one by one,

      The dangers that wait to assail you.

But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,

      Just take off your coat and go to it;

Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing

      That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.

 

We're going to do this thing together, hundreds of us and hundreds more will join in. Will tackle this thing and be better than ever.
