Can you withstand this, are you really strong?
Can you accept, however grudgingly, that you were once wrong?
Strength does not lie in putting up, a facade that is hard and upright,
If you're really strong you'll acknowledge, on occasions you were not right.
Can you take this to closure, do you have what it takes?
Can you deliver on every day, not just when there are high stakes?
Endurance does not lie in exhausting, all your resources and drive,
You take rest, pace your innings, for consistent results you strive.
Can you act in an ethical way, do you know what is right?
Can you behave when nobody is looking, avoid transgressions with all your might?
Character does not lie in fighting, battles that are big and bold,
It is visible in everyday actions- how you treat the sick and the old.
Sometimes what looks good on the surface, when you dig out comes the rot,
Don't hide your qualities in a vulnerable shell, have courage, stand out from the lot.
