Poem 102: Ci-Ui-Li-Ti-Ui-Ri-Ei (The 'i' in CULTURE)

"If I want it

"If I try again
I will succeed
only I can pave my way."

"I can do it;
I can win the race,
can push in place,
will make the cut.
If I try harder
I'll go farther.
To succeed
I'm all I need. "

If I surrender,
I will gain much more
If still,
I'll hear the choirs' scores.
If gentle,
I'll gain strength to soar.
If kind,
I may lose battles, 
but surely will win wars.
