A rocky terrain, hard to walk on.
Howling winds flying by with the speed of a
hurricane.
The freeze so hard to bear, but very
determined hearts.
Edmund Hillary and Tenzig Norgay heroes not
forgotten.
First men to touch the summit of Mount Everest.
A dying people provoked Alexander Fleming.
Many hours did he spent in the lab trying to
invent a cure.
A cure to bacterial maladies.
Trial and error method was all he could do.
With a determined heart, finally a miracle drug.
Penicillin has saved billions of lives.
The Wright brothers, a people not afraid of
new inventions.
Many laughed at them and called them lunatics.
They fell and rose up,more determined.
Without them could we be flying today?
Many people like peanut butter on their toast or sandwich.
If George Washington Carver hadn't thought outside of the box,
this butter wouldn't be - probably.
Partiality is a word foreign to the Creator.
No matter your background or race, you can fly high.
Many obstacles in this life but change your attitude.
No mountain is too high for a heart that's determined.
Learn to make lemonade out of every lemon life throws your way.
Dare to think outside of the box and believe.
Make a mark in this world, become what you
were created to be.
Always remember, ATTITUDE is ALTITUDE.

George Washington Carver believed he could have faith both in God and science and integrated them into his life. He testified on many occasions that his faith in Jesus was the only mechanism by which he could effectively pursue and perform the art of science.[58] George Washington Carver became[citation needed][dubious – discuss] a Christian when he was ten years old. When he was still a young boy, he was not expected to live past his twenty-first birthday due to failing health. He lived well past the age of twenty-one, and his belief deepened as a result.[23] Throughout his career, he always found friendship with other Christians. He relied on them especially when criticized by the scientific community and media regarding his research methodology.[59]
Carver viewed faith in Jesus as a means of destroying both barriers of racial disharmony and social stratification.[60] He was as concerned with his students' character development as he was with their intellectual development. He compiled a list of eight cardinal virtues for his students to strive toward:
A monument to Carver at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis
Be clean both inside and out.
Neither look up to the rich nor down on the poor.
Lose, if need be, without squealing.
Win without bragging.
Always be considerate of women, children, and older people.
Be too brave to lie.
Be too generous to cheat.
Take your share of the world and let others take theirs.[42]
Beginning in 1906 at Tuskegee, Carver led a Bible class on Sundays for several students at their request. He regularly portrayed stories by acting them out.[42] He responded to critics with this: "When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world."[61]
Well, this world has MUCH to learn from this humble individual.
