Set 4
A rich man, fond of felines, asked a famous Zen ink painter to draw him a cat. The master agreed and asked the man to come back in three months. When the man returned, he was put off, again and again, until a year had passed. Finally, at the man's request, the master drew out a brush, and, with grace and ease, in a single fluid motion, drew a picture of a cat - the most marvelous image the man had ever seen. He was astonished; then he grew angry. "That drawing took you only thirty seconds! Why did you make me wait a year?" he demanded. Without a word, the master opened up a cabinet, and out fell thousands of drawings - of cats. -Zen story

A Winner’s Creed -Anonymous
If you think you are beaten, you are;If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape 100 days of sorrow. -Chinese Proverb
If you think you dare not, you don’t;
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,
it’s almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost;

It’s all in the state of mind.
Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster hand.
But sooner or later, the person who wins is the one who thinks
"I Can".
