Sit in groups of four. Recall the days when you learned cycling,

swimming or any other new skill. Did you learn it at one go? Did you
try many times? Share your experience with others. How did you
feel when you started learning? What were your feelings when you
mastered the new skill? Talk about it in your group.

Let’s now read an inspirational and optimistic poem about never
giving up in life. It doesn’t matter how big the challenge is, or how
many times one has failed. One must always get up and try again…

‘Tis a lesson you should heed—

Try again;
If at first you don’t succeed,

Try again.
Then your courage should appear;

For if you will persevere
You will conquer, never fear,

Try again.

Once or twice though you should fail,
If you would at last prevail,

Try again.
