a plant needs water to grow and thrive.

You are the handicap you must face, You are the one who must choose your place, You must say where you want to go, How much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but He Lets you decide what you want to be. Courage must come from the soul within, The man must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad. You were born with all that the great have had, With your equipment they all began Get hold of yourself and say: “I can.”

. . . “Equipment” by Edgar A. Guest

This was the favorite poem of George Washington Carver.

Figure it out yourself, my lad, You’ve all that the greatest of men have had, And a brain to use if you would be wise. With this equipment they all began, So start at the top and say, “I can.” Look them over, the wise and great They take their food from a common plate, And similar knives & forks they use, The world considers them brave and smart, But you’ve all they had when they made their start. You can triumph and come to skill, You can be great if you only will. You’re well equipped for what fight you choose, You have legs and arms and a brain to use, And the man who has risen great deeds to do Began his life with no more than you.
