When Things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and debts are high,
And you want to Smile but 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 everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd 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 captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was on the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of 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.
Although this poem by Edgar A. Guest isn't completely reflecting my whole self, i use this as my inspiration to strive for my dreams, to make great efforts to achieve any thing i wanted in the near future, and to soar greater heights with my own capabilities. This reminds me to put on a smile even in my darkest days and keep on pushing 'til failure finally becomes success, just "Don't Give Up".
