Truly, the challenges we face are not Democratic challenges or Republican challenges. In fact, they are not political challenges at all; they are fiscal challenges, and educational challenges, and the challenges of figuring out how to take care of each other.

Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.

Challenges
Life is full of challenges
with every step we take.
Each day we wake up
to new challenges
for us to get through
and each day we face them
to win our way through.

Lonely Boy-Man Alone
Lonely Boy facing his first challenges
Unsure what they are
Sensing the threat from them
But not recognizing them
for what they are.
Simply challenges
to his resourcefullness.
Lonely boy
Upset and frightened by the challenges
That are the steps toward manhood.
The fables read to him so far
Said nothing to him about the obstacle spar
To manhood.
Lonely Boy
Fortunately he understands
That it is O.K. to ask for help
With the understanding of the obstacle course
To manhood.

Europe has found itself confronted with fresh challenges - challenges of a global character, the nature of which is directly connected with changes in the international climate and the difficulties of seeking new models for co-operation.

Our nation must manage significant national security challenges over the next several years. We are already facing a potential conflict with Iraq, new challenges on the Korean peninsula, and key decisions in the president's plans to transform the military.

The challenges of change are always hard. It is important that we begin to unpack those challenges that confront this nation and realize that we each have a role that requires us to change and become more responsible for shaping our own future.

Some Accept. Some Reject.
Life presents to us challenges.
Some accept.
Some reject.
Others believe they can be put on hold,
Until they make up their minds...
As to what to do and direction to take!
Challenges do not come,
With options to preserve.
They are either faced or not.
Either way...
The consequences of our decisions,
Always seem to provide immediate feedback.
Never do consequences lack not to arrive,
On time.
An appearance they will make.
Whatever is done!

Weary
Weary, sometimes I get so weary.
I lay myself right down.
I wonder why I get weary?
The feeling makes me frown.
I just don'; t like it.
It makes me mad.
I take for granted
that what I had
should not be missing now.
And yet I sense somehow
that all the living I have done
has made me tired. It's like a ton,
a heavy, heavy weight I feel
that challenges me to take a rest
and challenges me to do what's best
and stop worrying about
getting weary.

Greater Than Most
Challenges are many.
And those balls some juggle,
Are greater than most.
The steps it takes to move forward,
Seem weighted and thick.
As if the paths those journey,
Must be done with the carrying...
Of a ton of bricks.
Yet,
There is a light that shines...
With an easing of tensions.
There is a fresh breeze that blows,
To cool and dry the wetness of sweat.
And even though the challenges of many,
That are faced.
There is a place of rest to reflect...
The rewards of continuing on.
With an achieving of success...
Those determined and motivated,
Feel within themselves and get!
Challenges are many.
And those balls some juggle,
Are greater than most.
Yet,
There is a light that shines...
With an easing of tensions.
With an achieving of success...
Those determined and motivated,
Feel within themselves and get!

Yellow Snow
I forced my ability today,
with nothing to do, and words left to say.
A crying fighter in the night,
I used to be so weak, but now I'm only light,
challenges, challenges.
Where they vomit, from,
I guess I'll never know.
Yellow snow, Yellow snow,
I guess why you are so funny,
is something that I'll never know,
never know, never,
yellow snow.

I enjoy Augusta. I enjoy its challenges. There's no other golf course like this anywhere. Its greens and its challenges on and around the greens are just super, super tough. So the greens are fun to play in sort of a morbid way.

With A Crown
Demigods and heroes fascinated us with a crown,
Worn by a king whose character was tested.
The challenges caught in a funeral so solidly achieved,
Here the heroes dimmed the atmosphere
With the disappearance of the sun,
As dusk was approaching.
By night a god would challenge
The heroes for the next day.
A crowned man of kingly nature
Had made the statement so solidly,
That we achieve food and drink
But those of higher worth do gain
By the challenges of youth and old age.

Emphasization to Dilemmanize
With an emphasization to dilemmanize,
I seek to be basic.
And fresh I feel!
As if I've taken a mental enema.
Ridding my mind of toxins,
Seeking to pollute my thoughts...
With leftover BS I don't need.
And it can become quite difficult to process,
Those ideals that may have a chance...
Against those that do not snap quickly into focus.
Challenges that come too easy,
Aren't challenges.
I can say there has been times,
The elimination could have been less traumatic...
IF I had not tried to impress myself.
And I have no idea when that started.
However...
Playing with a full 'deck'
Has not always been an ambition.
As it is of late!
'What is this you are talking about now? '
I have no clue whatsoever!

Infa Song
This is an infa song,
for the family to which we all belong,
in the welcome of the days ahead,
in the memory of days that have gone.
This is an infa song...
we like the place, we love the place,
for us it is a home away from home.
we are never ever gonna leave this place,
as to it, for forever we belong.
This is an infa song...
Challenges and challenges are on the way,
but challenges are with what we like to play,
its not gonna easy to be on the top,
but we will stay as we all are so strong.
This is an infa song...
work hard, we play hard, we drink hard,
never ever bored, we laugh and sing.
and now when we have already done so much,
we just wanna keep on moving rocking and singing.
and that's why for u all i sing this song
which i call an infa song...
for the family to which we all belong.

Misanthrope
I hand myself these challenges
and if I win
I preen;
I hand myself these challenges
and if I lose
knowledge and experience I guess I gain;
I hand myself still greater challenges
and hope they don't
ending up educating me to death.
Surviving then
the worst of these,
if lucky,
I could be crippled for life
but end up very very wise.
You know actually
I'd rather skip
the educated, crippled and possibly dead part
and perhaps too
skip the my birth itself
and go straight to heaven in one piece
one day and still healthy,
where God and and I would discuss
the Joys and the Dreads of Earthly Life
in the presence of the angels
and delightful cherubic lads.
Thereby I would gain immortality
and never ever
have to get dead.
Humm..
All in all
I think
this idea is best in many ways.
But if you are reading this
you are already alive
the both of us having made our first mistake;
that of having been born
and probably depending on age
very very very wise.
Womb Returns and Pilgrimages
are clearly out of the question
and therefore I will have to
stop complaining
and make the best
of life here on earth;
weary simile on my face
and reconciled
to the wise joys
of this Earthly
Grand In-Between.

Press Them More
P eople power against the evil never fail the battle
R ealities has it that the attainment of success is always possible
E specially to those that persevere to the end
S ome people lost hope one last rung to the success ladder
S o should you persevere to the end no matter the inducement to do otherwise
T he road to success is always full patholes
H ardly you got any comfort but the biggest traffic of challenges
E ndure through the dark cloud to get the silver lightening
M ust not you bow down no matter the storm!
M y message for you is just a reminder
R emember that any challenges before you can be turned into an opportunity
E specially if you believes in the beauty of your dream.

Sonnet- Things Change In Life
The more we climb, the more we leave behind;
To gain virtues, we must give up vices;
Each stage, we must maintain our peace of mind;
Good deeds, more temptations sure entices.
The more we climb, the fear of fall is more;
So, reinforce yourself at every stage;
Effort is more to open heavier door;
Sometimes, life's challenges, we must engage.
Sans sacrifice, great feats can't be achieved;
Sans risks and challenges, we can't do things;
Sans analgesics, pain can't be relieved;
Sans struggle, Life not much advancement brings.
The state of mind must change from woe to joy;
We ought to change some day to man from boy.
