Get to It

Gun’s Quote-of-the-Week:

“Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
     But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
     Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
     On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
     That couldn’t be done, and he did it.

“Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
     At least no one ever has done it”;
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
     And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
     Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
     That couldn’t be done, and he did it.

“There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
     There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
     The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
     Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
     That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.”

-Edgar Albert Guest

Tonight, the quote is long and the commentary short. I have a few big things going on in life right now, just like the rest of us. I’ve been overwhelmed.

I start my week again tomorrow. It will be a struggle to sit down and get to work on something that has drug on for months and will likely drag on a few more. It’s tiring; trust me, I know.

With whatever you have going on in life right now, big or small, get to it. Just buckle in with a bit of a grin, and the first thing you know, you’ll do it.

...and that’s why it’s a Gun’s Quote!!
