Read the following poem and write an appreciation of the poem ‘The Will to Win’ in a paragraph format. 

The Will to Win

If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it.

If all that you dream 
and scheme is about it and life 
seems useless and worthless without it.

If you gladly sweat for, fret for and plan for it and lose 
all your terror of the opposition for it.

If you simply go after that thing that you want with all 
Of your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith, hope and
confidence and stern pertinacity.

If neither cold poverty, famished or gaunt 
or sickness or pain 
of body and brain 
can keep you away from the thing that you want,

If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it, 
with the help of GOD you'll get it!

- Berton Braley
