What People Say You Cannot Do, You Try and Find You Can. by Connie Cannon What people say you cannot do, you try and find you can. This quotation from Henry David Thoreau has probably been the unconscious motto of many who have forsaken the opinions of others and have risen to triumph. One of the most famous Americans, Abraham Lincoln, typifies this quotation. Every mother, whether high or low in station, has a desire for her son to become President of the United States. Abraham Lincoln had this desire to become President because his mother had inspired him to become such. However, Abe was always laughed at, first by his friends who considered him wacky, because he liked to study rather than play. When he grew up and became a lawyer, people laughed again at his odd clothes, odd speech, and shyness. Abraham Lincoln had always been opposed to slavery and often told his friends he would do all within his power to stop slavery. His friends, although they liked him, told Abraham, 3 country lawyer could notdo anything about slavery. Many people believed him to be a country yokel. While patiently bearing criticism, Abe Lincoln bettered himself. I read a story recently of one of the world's greatest equestriennes. This lady, awakening one morning, found herself unable to move, paralyzed in all parts of her body. She was immediately rushed to a doctor who told her she had four kinds of polio. This great writer was placed in a hospital room for observation. After many operations and treatments she was paralyzed only from the waist down. Nurses tried to encourage her by telling her that she would be paralyzed but be able to walk with a brace or special crutches. However this plucky lady, not to be downed, replied, I'll be riding in the Olympics three years from now. Nurses, doctors, friends, even her husband tried to tell her this could not be so, but the presistent woman did not seem to hear them. After many tumbles, bruises, breaks, agony and a nervous breadkown, she rode again. In the Olympics three years later, people who did not know of her afflic- tion marveled at how she had improved. Her friends who knew of her bout with polio marveled that she could ride again better than ever. She still had to be boosted on and helped off her horse, but she had climbed a very steep mountain to achieve her goal. She was like the little train who said, I think I can, I think I can... and did. During the famous debates over slavery with Stephen A. Douglas, the little giant, he proved zl'dx. y,wdi himself to be an intelligent man equal to the brilliant statesman, Douglas. When Abraham Lincoln announced his decision to run for the Presidency of the United States, people laughed again. who did he think he was? Did not this raw uncouth man know that to be the president you had to have power, money, position and wealthy friends behind you? Yes, this man with none of these became the President of the United States, proving, What people say you can- not do, you just try and find that you can. Christmas is Coming by Dennis Harrison Oh hide the gifts and stir the cakes, For Christmas time is coming, About the house the youngsters prance, And mother's work is humming. Our home is bright with streamer things And presents in the making, And all the air is tingling with The spicy things a baking. Oh feed the flame and chop the wood And bring in greens and trimmings. with Christmas mirth and happiness The whole house is a brimming. There's sparkel in each merry eye, And lits are set for funning And every heart's a-tune with joy For Christmas is a-coming.
