He Says - She Says

[He says]Never say ?I can't? Why on Earth not meet defeat admit you're seldom right Saying you CAN is vanity and looking for a fight. [He says] Don'?t look back on failure ... Dwell on failure is what I say thank failure with a smile! A learning tool is what it is to shorten your next mile. Good results are scant [He says] Oh goodness, where are you looking? You breathe the air where roses bloom and eat your wife's fine cooking. Taste the gift of life; don't focus on doom. [He says] But, praise is less than complaint! Enjoy the ACTION she says, not the "at a boy!' you decide, what you value and whose judgments to deploy Your opinion of self is what you should pursue. Embrace the TRUTH with stoic composure. [He says] The truth...which truth is that? Laugh, I say, in the face of those who would oppose you, tip your hat. Revealations comes to those who grow! [He says]Be rawhide tough and BULLDOG mean. Oh God, what men don't do? Be sweet, be soft be kind I say and like will return to you for your soul you've not betrayed. Defeat [He says] has no place in our repertoire ... Now here she says, it's not defeat to wish upon a star. He says: Charles Henderson, She says: Debbie Guzzi
