Most people follow some said or unsaid principle in their lives. Sometime, somewhere you listen to them, you recognize, yes this is what is the closest match to your own thoughts. Here is the one that sounds to those similar to mine but had been unstated, unrecognized and had hardly been put in words, except those very few who knows the real of me. Thanks Kiran for making this available, from a great poet of all times.

-----------------------------

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them.

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,
but for the heart to conquer it.

Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved,
but hope for the patience to win my freedom.

Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling
Your mercy in my success alone; but let me find
the grasp of Your hand in my failure.
