Don't Quit Poem

CD 11

I came across this poem today and thought I would post it here to remind me when times get tough as I've had a tough couple of days.

I am seriously stressed over our new business. It has got off to a dreadful start and we have took absolutely nothing like what we would have expected to take for Easter Saturday. I left at 1pm as I was getting so depressed thinking about it all and how we've sunk so much money into it and so far it has failed to take off. I've just phoned him now and the market is open til 8pm tonight which is just a complete waste of time really. He has made a some more money since we left him but not as much as we'd hoped. Just hope tomorrow is better!!

On the ttc front have been doing lots of babydancing but other than that nothing else much to report.

Don'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 do not 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.
