When the untoward and unexpected things happen in our lives, the tendency is to succumb to it and quit. Quitters can never win and winners shall never quit. The circumstances that tempt us to quit can be made a means to gain resistance power to go forward in life. It can be made an opportunity to gain stamina to conquer. Always remember that the clouds come as a flash and goes off whereas the sun remains and it shall re-appear after a few minutes. Patience is what is needed always.
Following is a beautiful poem for you to ponder and be encouraged.
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 mustn’t quit.
