Can't is the word that is foe to ambition,An enemy ambushed to shatter your will;Its prey is forever the man with a missionAnd bows but to courage and patience and skill.Hate it, with hatred that's deep and undying,For once it is welcomed 'twill break any man;Whatever the goal you are seeking, keep tryingAnd answer this demon by saying: 'I can.'
