outrun the cheetah 2/18/2008

willpower
a sine qua non for all things
all things worth while
worth working for
worth achieving
to outrun the cheetah
outlast the donkey
outsmart the owl

what drives the muscles
and commands the brain

is what creates the man

this is measured not in the results
although sometimes evident there.
it can be seen in the eyes
which give a glimpse of the heart
in all of us.

sine qua non \sin-ih-kwah-NON; -NOHN; sy-nih-kway-\, noun:
An essential condition or element; an indispensable thing.
