You Mustn'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 never 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 if he'd stuck it out;
Stick to your task, though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with one more blow.



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 Mustn't Quit!

Don't ever stop dreaming your dreams....

Dont exactly remember , where did i get this poem from.... but it has been a good read and an inspiration for me always. At times when i felt down... these kind of readings have helped me a lot.... and now there is something very special about it... :)

Don't ever stop dreaming your dreams....

They're a very essential part of you.

Do whatever you can to make them a reality.

By the course you take, the plans you make

...and all the things you do.

Don't dwell on past mistakes...leave yesterday behind you.

Along with all of its problems, worries and doubts.

Do realize that you can't change the past,

but just ahead is the future...

And you Can do something about that!

Don't try to accomplish everything at once,

life can be difficult enough...

Without adding frustration to the list.

Do travel one step at a time

and reach for one goal at a time.

That's the way to find out what real accomplishment is.

Don't be afraid to try the impossible...

even if others don't think you'll succeed.

Do remember that history is filled with incredible accomplishments...

Of those that others thought were foolish enough to Believe.

And yet they did!

Don't forget that there are many thingsthat are

Wonderful, Rare and Unique about You!

This one inspires me the most........

After a while you learn the subtle difference...

Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning.....

And company doesn't mean security,..

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts

And presents aren't promises....

And you begin to accept your defeats.....With your head up and your eyes open,

With the grace of a woman,Not the grief of a child.....

And you learn to build all your roads on today,..

Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans

and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.......

After awhile you learn that ...

even sunshineBurns if you get too much

So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,

In stead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers....

And you learn that you really can endure...

That you really are strong,

And you really do have worth,

and you learn and learn...

With every good bye you learn......
