Stick To Your Task

​Stick To Your Task
 
Stick to your task till it sticks to you;
     Beginners are many, but enders are few.
Honor, power, place, and praise
     Will always come to the one who stays.
 
Stick to your task till it sticks to you;
     Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it, too;
For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile
     Will come life’s victories, after a while.
