No one knows who wrote this inspiring poem, Don't Quit. I didn't even know it is a well known poem because I bought a scroll like hanging ornament with this poem on it and it has been hanging on my bedroom wall since forever. Sometimes I do look at it, like a reassuring message that whatever shit comes my way, I can handle it. Anyway I am reproducing the same poem here for your reading pleasure;
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 every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
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 man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped 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 so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
Welcome to Point2Entertainment, basically a blog about everything opinion based. Been here since about a decade ago under different names so this is like the nth template change. Old friends may notice I am a bit slow on reviews these days but hey, from time to time there are some added, whether by me or someone else. Nowadays this blog is more of a "reaction" blog; my reaction to everything I see, feel, experience. Nothing too personal though but it is still "reviews...comments...opinions". New features I like is that navigation menu (rather pretty), this tabbed menu (rather cool) and the best of all, the Table of Contents pages which you must see to know what I mean! It just makes posts so much easier to search! For old posts (some 1000 of them!), do check out Archived Blog which is messy but functional. Feel free to comment, whether using the Post A Comment link or Shoutbox. Any reviews? Send them to me! To all those who stumbled in, welcome! To returning chatty readers, post away! To silent readers, welcome back and do post sometimes! Thank you & I hope you will enjoy my humble small (hopefully) gorgeous functional blog!
