The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night

DON’T QUIT!

Saturday, October 4, 2008

When things go wrong as sometimes will.,
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill.,
When the funds are low but 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 want…..but do not quit.,

Life is strange with twists and turns.,
As everyone has to sometime learn.,
Dont give up though the pace seems slow.,
You might succeed with another blow.,

Success is failure turned inside out.,
That silver tint of the clouds of doubt.,
And you never can tell how close you are.,
It could be near, when it seems so far.,
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit.,
Its when things seem worst…..that you must not quit

kooonin nakakalakas ng loob ito ah. pwede ko bang kopyahin ito at i-print para isabit din sa dingding ko?

I agree with your comment, Crazyfool. Indeed, sometimes things can (would) not work out the way we planned, all we can we do is to move on and let it go. It doesn’t mean that we are quitting, but rather accepting the challenges that come in our way with beauty and grace. Also, I do believe that things happen for a reason and that God has an amazing plan for all of us.
