A man travelling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself over the edge.
The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.
Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man then saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other.
How sweet it tasted.
~Zen Poem

"If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but you think you can't
it is almost certain that you won't.
Life's battles don't always go to the
stronger woman or man, but sooner or later
those who win are the ones who think they can."

~Unknown (Courtesy of Mrs. Dobies)
