Here is a poem from the book:
Befriend the Failure you Fear
by Jerald Simon
Do not fear failure.
Befriend the failure you fear.
Failure can become a dear friend if you let it.
But most fear failure, and eventually regret it.
Failure is not a folly fool,
to be avoided, and dreaded, and cursed.
It is a gift we have been given so we might improve
the performance we’ve daily rehearsed.
Each step backwards is a friendly failure,
not a foe to be beaten and bruised.
For with each failure we learn something new,
though most feel discarded and used.
Do not let failure frighten you,
face it with faith and might.
Encourage it, and learn from it,
for each failure can bring you new light.

Here is another poem from the book:
Feast Upon the Words “I Can”
by Jerald Simon
Be weary of the words “I won’t,
”Be cautious of the words “I can’t,”
Carefully choose the words you use,
the dos you do and the don’ts you don’t.
Think about what you tell yourself –
what you harbor as fear, guilt, or remorse.
For the words you tell your heart are real
and can alter, at once, your entire life’s course.
The words “I can’t” and the words “I won’t”
instill in one’s self a firm belief.
They dictate what you do
and they become who you’ll be.
“I can’t,” and “I won’t,”
is what despair wants you to believe.
Focus on the words “I will.”
Feast upon the words “I can.”
Believe in yourself and then create your plan.
Now follow it through
and become a noble man.
