Bill Beausay

"This is Your Hour!"

Bill Beausay presented a very motivational program on developing and maintaining the power necessary to get through tough times. His talk combined inspirational lines and stories designed to inspire success. Bill ended his presentation with the following poem, which serves as a good summary and transition to next week’s program on planning for retirement in this time of market meltdown to be presented by Robery M. McNeily.

“This is your hour creep upon it!
Summon your power, leap upon it!
Grasp it, clasp it, hold it tight!
Strike it, spike it, with full might!
If you take too long to ponder,
Opportunity may wander.
Yesterday 's a bog of sorrow;
No man ever finds To-morrow.
Hesitation is a mire
Climb out, climb up, climb on higher!
Fumble, stumble, risk a tumble,
Make a start, however humble!
Do your best, and do it now!
Pluck and grit will find out how.
Persevere, although you tire
While a spark is left, there 's fire.
Distrust doubt; doubt is a liar.
Even if all mankind jeer you,
You can force the world to cheer you.”
