There is a tide in the affairs of Men, William Shakespeare wrote,

Which had taken at the flood, leads or to fortune. The catch is that opportunity

Almost always involves some breasting of the tide-i.e, hard work. Many

People would rather simply wait for their ship to loss in.

Those who fight the good fight and win need to be brave only once. Those

Who lose must show courage twice. So we must steel ourselves for harder

Count to ten before you do anything and if very anger count to a hundred.

This poem reminds us of some of the rules of Friendship, as will as some of the reward.

Brave men and women (as well as cowardly men and women) are not born that way.

They become those way thoughts their acts.

Here are the acts that make us not just grow up, but grow up well.
