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.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never 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 go wrong that you mustn't quit.

    Very nice poetry and strong meaning!
    I like it

    I just wish some of my friends would actually pay attention to advice like this...

    It seems strange that most people rather Absorb and Trust the negative things in life, much more than the positive sides.

      Thank you for the poem. That sounds exactly like where I'm at, and that's the mentality I've been keeping.

      Success feels pretty far out, but there's a good chance it's right around the corner.

    Probably one of my favourite quotes/poems, thanks for the reminder, and regarding not quitting Napoleon Hill said in "Think and Grow Rich"

    "I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in life, therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action."

    This is one of the earlier forms of positive affirmations, which the self help world has taken by storm in the past few years, just goes to prove that there is very little actual new stuff out there...

    Strange I just ran across this. I was cleaning my office just a week or so ago and found I had printed out this same poem a long time back. I laid it on a stand by my desk to look at later, and just this morning realized that it was still there, picked it up and read it again. Crazy! But, it does ring very true!

  • I agree don't quit and never give up- but make sure if what you are doing is not getting you results then fine-tune it or change strategy until you have a strategy that works! But don't just keep on hitting a brick wall as that is going to get you nowhere.

      True. Winners do everything and win. Losers will do nothing and wonder why they lose. That's how the battle should go. Forget about quitting, it never helps.

    Thanks for this! So many people quit at the brink of success. The successful will tell you that massive success came to them just a few steps beyond where they most wanted to quit.
