The Way Self-Defence

Thoughts to take away

I've been given this poem twice in my life. Once by my stepfather, and once by my TEACHER. On both occasions you can probably guess what course of action was in my mind. My love and respect to them both. John

Don't Quit
When things go wrong
as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging
Seems all uphill,
When 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 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 go wrong
That you mustn't quit.
