"How did you die?" by Edmund Vance Cooke is a motivational poem giving the reader the courage to deal with troubles of life in the ideal manner.
He explains that trouble ends up being big or small according to our mindset to it. It does not matter whether the trouble hurt you or otherwise, what matter is just how you handled it. The poet further tells that we may get beaten lying flat on earth, and although such an experience is normal, we should immediately get up smiling. The secret is that no matter we are thrown down by the troubles, we can get back even stronger.
If we are hurt or injured badly while dealing with troubles, we should be proud of that, because what really matters is how we challenged the problems that came our way. We may die while facing the troubles, but if we fought the best we could, the critics will praise us.
Death concerns us all. It might come all of a sudden or it may come quietly. Our dying does not matter, what matters is exactly how we died, whether we died like a coward or like a hero.
This video is created by transforming existing filmed footage through the use of editing both audio and video elements, professional voice artists, and heavy effects work (in Wondershare Filmora) to produce educational and transformative content.
We create the content by editing various footage angles, special effects, and scenes together to react in time with the voice-over narration to give it a new context and entirely original storyline.
Full Poem Lyrics:
Did you tackle that trouble that came your way
With a resolute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, a trouble’s a ton, or a trouble’s an ounce,
Or a trouble is what you make it,
And it isn’t the fact that you’re hurt that counts,
But only how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what’s that?
Come up with a smiling face.
It’s nothing against you to fall down flat,
But to lie there - that’s disgrace.
The harder you’re thrown, why the higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
It isn’t the fact that you’re licked that counts,
It’s how did you fight - and why?
And though you be done to the death, what then?
If you battled the best you could,
If you played your part in the world of men,
Why, the Critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce,
And whether he’s slow or spry,
It isn’t the fact that you’re dead that counts,
But only how did you die?
