Can't is the worst word that's written or spoken; Doing more harm here than slander and lies; On it is many a strong spirit broken, And with it many a good purpose dies. It springs from the lips of the thoughtless each morning And robs us of courage we need through the day: It rings in our ears like a timely-sent warning And laughs when we falter and fall by the way.
Can't is the father of feeble endeavor, The parent of terror and half-hearted work; It weakens the efforts of artisans clever, And makes of the toiler an indolent shirk. It poisons the soul of the man with a vision, It stifles in infancy many a plan; It greets honest toiling with open derision And mocks at the hopes and the dreams of a man.
Can't is a word none should speak without blushing; To utter it should be a symbol of shame; Ambition and courage it daily is crushing; It blights a man's purpose and shortens his aim. Despise it with all of your hatred of error; Refuse it the lodgment it seeks in your brain; Arm against it as a creature of terror, And all that you dream of you some day shall gain.
Can't is the word that is foe to ambition, An enemy ambushed to shatter your will; Its prey is forever the man with a mission And bows but to courage and patience and skill. Hate it, with hatred that's deep and undying, For once it is welcomed 'twill break any man; Whatever the goal you are seeking, keep trying And answer this demon by saying: "I can."
Celebrating International Children's Book Day: Inspiring Young Minds Through Stories
Every year on April 2, the world comes together to celebrate International Children’s Book Day (ICBD)—a special occasion dedicated to the magic of books and the joy of reading for children. Established in 1967 by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), this day aims to inspire a love of reading and promote children's literature worldwide. The date was chosen to honor the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen, the legendary Danish author known for timeless fairy tales such as The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, and The Emperor’s New Clothes.
Why International Children’s Book Day Matters
Books play a crucial role in a child's development, shaping their imagination, language skills, and emotional intelligence. Reading fosters creativity, encourages empathy, and introduces young readers to new cultures and perspectives. ICBD serves as a reminder of the importance of early literacy and the need to make books accessible to children everywhere.
