People Know
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

When trust is broken
Words often go unspoken.

No longer is a relationship
One of truth and kinship.

Trust is always earned
It is a principle we all learn.

A trusting reputation will be one
Where only you by your actions will be undone.

Always be that person who is trusting
Then life will need no adjusting.

People know what you say and do
Are a reflection of the true you.

“Building trust is a process. Trust results from consistent and predictable interaction over time.” Barbara White
Trust Quotes

Success
Poet: Mary Markwell

Success! It is won by a patient endeavor,
Energy’s fire, and the flame-glow of Will;
By grasping the chance with a “Now, now or never!”
Urging on, on! while the laggard stands still.

Success! It is facing life’s trials, undaunted;
Fighting the present – forgetting the past:
By trusting to Fate, though for years she has taunted,
And bearing Time’s scars; facing front, to the last!

Success! Would you win it and wear its bright token?
Smile and step out to the drummer’s light lilt;
Fight on till the last inch of sword-blade is broken.
Then do not say die. Fight on with the hilt!

“You’ll never become successful being a phony; people must trust you.” Carl Sommer, Teen Success in Career and Life Skills

Saying The Words
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Just saying the words, trust me
Does not feel people with glee.
Your actions will determine
Your life better than a sermon.

The actions of your daily life
When pressures build up, do you take it in strife?
When someone else tells you a secret
Do you always keep it?
When you say you will do it,
Do you do it now or wait a bit?
Do people depend on you
to do the things you say you will do?

You see trust is made up of a lot of little things
It is everyday actions and what you bring,
That will depend on the level that people trust you
So rather than talk, stay true to your word and just do!

The Goal
Poet: Faith

The goal, the goal!
Ive set my soul
A higher goal to win.
Ill fight, Ill pray
Ill labor every day
To win; Ill surely win.

That goal leads back, far back.
The way is long, but bright;
It was so dark but now tis day
The sun of life and love floods
Over it all the way.
Oer all my aches, my woes, my pain.
Ill fight, but not in vain.
Ill win the fight.
With all my might
Ill put my foe to shame.
Ill put my everlasting trust
In one wholl take my hand,
Wholl lead me and guard my soul and say:
My child youve won the goal.

That goal means health and home and friends.
Old scenes so dear to me.
But last and best of all the rest
It means just victory.
