Stick to the Fight: A Motivational Message

[debbieskitchenhelper]

I was not sure where to post this since there is really no Motivational Page, so I will just post it here.

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 PERSON TURNS ABOUT
WHEN THEY MIGHT HAVE WON HAD THEY STUCK IT OUT.

DON'T GIVE UP THOUGH THE PACE SEEMS SLOW---
YOU MIGHT 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---
SO STICK TO THE FIGHT WHEN YOU'RE HARDEST HIT,----
IT'S WHEN THINGS SEEM WORST THAT YOU
MUSTN'T QUIT.

I memorized this poem when I was in 5th grade. It is so true. It seems when things get the hardest you are close to a break threw. That applies
to every situation from personal to business in my life.

Press through. Today you are closer.

A motivational thread would be nice. Sometimes we just need to vent and hear a little empathy from our peers to get back on track. Greg: your thoughts on a new catagory thread?
