To fight a valiant fight
And not be caught up with the result
To realise that our worth is not in being the best
But in trying the hardest

Our friends and family love us for who we are,
What our values are
And the effort we make
Not because of what we achieve

So, if one day we are not first or the best
Or unable to reach the top
We will still be loved

And if there are those who will only
Love and respect us when we are at the top
That’s not the kind of love that means a lot

So, let’s try our best
Work from the fullness of our heart
With noble intentions
And not get hung up on the result
