Stick to Your Task

Stick to your task till it sticks to you;
Beginners are many, but enders are few.
Honour, power, place, and praise
Will come, in time, to the one who stays.

Stick to your task till it stick to you;
Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it too;
For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile
Will come life's victories, after awhile.

My sister embroidered this and framed it for me and my brothers in about 1993. (I was about 14) I have become very task oriented as an adult. I just passed it on to my son.	[reply]
