The Will to Win
by Berton Braley
If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace
And your sleep for it,
If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,
Makes you hold all other things tawdry
And cheap for it,
If life seems all empty
and useless without it
And all that you scheme
And you dream is about it,
If gladly you'll sweat for it,
Fret for it, Plan for it,
Lose all your terror of God
or man for it,
If you'll simply go after that
thing that you want
With all your capacity,
Strength, and sagacity,
Faith, hope, and confidence,
stern pertinacity,
If neither cold poverty,
famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness nor pain
Of body and brain
Can turn you away from
the thing that y...

Daffodils – William Wordsworth (An Inspirational Poem)
A powerful poem on finding pleasure and comfort in nature.
Read by Victor Vertunni
-
William Wordsworth was a revered English poet who was, in part, responsible for kick-starting the Romantic movement in English literature.
Inspired after finding a surprising number of daffodils during a countryside walk, Daffodils (or 'I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud') serves as something of a reminder that humanity is a part of nature and not an opposing force.

William Shakespeare Poems - Beautiful Love Poetry
Read by Shane Morris
This video aims to bring the sonnets: 18, 29, 116 and 130, of William Shakespeare, to life. William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor who is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language and one of the most important figures in world literature. He was born in 1564, and died in 1616.
Sonnet 18 is one of the most famous and beloved sonnets written by William Shakespeare. Throughout the sonnet, Shakespeare uses vivid imagery to convey the beauty of the person he is addressing. He compares them to a "summer's day," but then goes on to explain why they are actually more beautiful and desirable than anything found in nature.

By Joe Henkel
Life is so short. It gets shorter each day.
This life on earth quickly passes away.
The time we have to live is briefly here,
Then like a vapor our lives disappear.
Don't waste your life living for self and gain.
Or living for what's sin, temporal, and vain.
Live your life for Christ and what will go on;
What lasts forever when your life is gone.

by Berton Braley
If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace
And your sleep for it,
If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,
Makes you hold all other things tawdry
And cheap for it,
If life seems all empty
and useless without it
And all that you scheme
And you dream is about it,
If gladly you'll sweat for it,
Fret for it, Plan for it,
Lose all your terror of God
or man for it,
If you'll simply go after that
thing that you want
With all your capacity,
Strength, and sagacity,
Faith, hope, and confidence,
stern pertinacity,
If neither cold poverty,
famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness nor pain
Of body and brain
Can turn you away from
the thing that you want,
If dogged and grim you
besiege and beset it,
You'll get it.

Read by Shane Morris
This video aims to bring the sonnets: 18, 29, 116 and 130, of William Shakespeare, to life. William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor who is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language and one of the most important figures in world literature. He was born in 1564, and died in 1616.
Sonnet 18 is one of the most famous and beloved sonnets written by William Shakespeare. Throughout the sonnet, Shakespeare uses vivid imagery to convey the beauty of the person he is addressing. He compares them to a "summer's day," but then goes on to explain why they are actually more beautiful and desirable than anything found in nature.
Sonnet 29 by William Shakespeare is one of the most well-known sonnets of the 154 that he wrote. The speaker begins by expressing his sadness and despair, feeling alone and outcast from society. Finally, in the couplet, the speaker acknowledges that the love he shares with his beloved is enough to make him feel as though he is "wealthy" and "contented." He recognizes that his love is a gift from heaven, and he feels blessed to have it. In this way, the sonnet ends on a hopeful note, with the speaker finding solace in the love he shares with another person.
Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare is a classic love sonnet that presents the idea of true love as an unchanging force that is not swayed by external circumstances. Shakespeare argues that true love is not subject to the whims of time or circumstance, and that it persists even in the face of adversity.
Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare is a poem that subverts traditional love poetry by rejecting exaggerated comparisons and clichéd metaphors in favor of a more realistic and honest portrayal of his mistress. Instead of praising her with over-the-top comparisons to natural beauty or otherworldly beings, Shakespeare describes her with human qualities, acknowledging her imperfections and flaws.
The poem in this video is narrated by Shane Morris (an award winning voice actor). We took care to edit the audio as perfectly as we can.
We believe that there is wisdom in these historic texts. We are very hesitant in creating video's with different moving backgrounds, because we believe it might contradict the wisdom that is displayed in the text. We hope you appreciate the effort!

Life.
By Joe Henkel
Life is so short. It gets shorter each day.
This life on earth quickly passes away.
The time we have to live is briefly here,
Then like a vapor our lives disappear.
Don't waste your life living for self and gain.
Or living for what's sin, temporal, and vain.
Live your life for Christ and what will go on;
What lasts forever when your life is gone.
It will be soon when you take your last breath;
Life will be over and you will face death.
Then you'll stand before God and you will see
What really mattered for eternity.
Your life is getting shorter ev'ry day,
And like a vapor life passes away.
One day, very soon, when your life is past,
Only what you did for Jesus will last.
