NEVER QUIT

This is my favourite poem. Every time I stumble, I read this. It gives me the inspiration to carry on doing what I believe is right. Here it is, for you.

Never Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
When the road you are trudging, seems all uphill,
When funds are low and debts are high,
When you want to laugh and you have to sigh.
When care seems to be pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must
But NEVER QUIT.

Life is strange with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellows turn around
When he might have won had he stuck it out
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering
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 golden crown

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of 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 the worst
THAT YOU MUSTN’T QUIT!!!!
