DON'T QUIT!
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer, with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he/she might have won had he/she stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

RE: Dont Quit

wow... you are now really speaking to my heart!
My wife gave me a framed picture of this poem three years ago and since then it has hanged over my desk for me to look and read every day.
But there is more. I have actually made one line of it my own personal slogan and that is ... "Success is failure turned inside out."
Thanks for sharing it. I wanted tpo do it myself for a long time but never got round it. So... great that you have done it instead. Fantastic!

Purpose, funnily enough it was the same line that stuck a chord with me!
