I am aware of Finland’s stand
against the Soviet Union in 1939,

the college basketball win
by Chaminade against Virginia,

Morris the Florist’s

battle against tyrannical trucking
companies in The Pushcart War,

Sir Richard Branson’s inability
to read at the age of 11

and being bounced around
between schools for low grades

until he eventually scored big time,

who Hiram
the ordinary housefly became

when he put those cool glasses on,

and what Cinderella
had to go through

to get to where she got.

So if there’s
any good advice to give

it’s to make an effort
to amass your stones

so you can be ready
when the time comes

to take on Goliath.
