Don’t Give Up!
During my daily internet browsing, I stumbled upon a wonderful poem. I’m not sure of it’s origin, but I found it inspiring. I printed it out and posted it on my refrigerator. Any day that I feel like quitting, it is there to remind me that not quitting is the path that I really want to take. I hope it inspires some of you here as well.
DON’T QUIT
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill
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 person turns about when they
might have won had they stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up when
he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night came
down how close he was to the golden crown.
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 afar.
So stick to the fight when you’re
hardest hit.
It’s when things seem worst
that you must not quit.
All the best in health and fitness
