The Little Engine is a children's story about a train who is attempting to climb a mountain:
"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can"
Last weekend I was in Sydney to see if Australia could beat New Zealand in the Rugby, I specially worn a wallabies cap marked August 28th 1999 -- this was the last time I was "live" at a game where the Wallabies had beaten the AllBlacks.
Sitting with my two sons; we cheered and sang with the 70,000 crowd with the optimism of that little train. In the end Australia, lost by 1 point and while we didn't win there was the benefit of self-belief and that we are getting closer to the mark.
"I thought I could, I thought I could"
Next year is the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand; a mountain if ever there was one worth scaling and hopefully we then will be chatting:
"I thought I could, I did, I did."
