Life is a game with a glorious prize, if we can only play it right.

It is give and take, and often ends in a fight.

But he surely wins who honestly tries, regardless of wealth and fame. 

He can never despair who plays it fair.

How are you playing the game?

Do you wild and whine if you fail to win, in the manner you think you're due?
Do you sneer at the man in case that he can, and does, do better than you?

Do you take your rebuffs with a knowing grin?

Do you laugh tho’ you pull up lame?
Does your faith hold true when the whole world’s blue?

How are you playing the game?

Get into the thick of it- Wade in boys! Whatever your cherished goal.

Brace up your will till your pulses thrill, and you dare to your very soul!

Do something more than make a noise, let your purpose leap into flame.

As you plunge with a cry, “I shall do or die.”

Then you will be playing the game.
