Don't quit

My sister gave me this poster about 2 years back when things were not working out so great for me personally as well as professionally..i dont know who wrote this poem ..but whenever i have been down reading it has always made me look on the positive side of things..:)
so here's the poem
Don't quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you are travelling seems all uphill,
when you are feeling low and the stress is high,
and you want to smile but you have to sigh,
when worries are getting you down a bit,
rest if you must but dont ever quit.

Success if failure turned inside out,
a silver lining in the clouds of doubt,
you never can tell how close you are-
it may be near when it seems so far,
so trust in you when you are hardest hit...
its when things go wrong that you must not quit..:)
-anonymous

iam just quoting this poem from my memory so i might have missed something or have rephrased a bit..but throughout the poem i see the beauty of not giving up on your dreams...
and working hard for it..

cheers

Nice poem Jeenu.
Just wanted to share one quote from Emily Dickinson.

"Luck is not chance, it's toil; fortune's expensive smile is earned."
So - one should never quit n keep the spirits flying!

Ginkgo said...

lolz..

I tht I'll be politically correct for a change :-)

There are 2 ways to fall down of ur chair, one- I push u down..which happens often
and second, u expect to be pushed down, and when that doesnt happen, u dont believe it and push urself down, just to make sure things are normal..

This is the second category :-)
