Are You Going to Finish Strong?

Hang in There

Hang in There
Don't quit when the tide is lowest,
for it's just about to turn;

Don't quit over doubts and questions,
for there's something you may learn;

Don't quit when the night is darkest,
for it's just a while till dawn;

Don't quit when you've run the farthest,
for the race is almost won;

Don't quit when the hill is steepest,
for your goal is almost nigh;

Don't quit, for you're not a failure
until you fail to try.

Don't Quit

Quotes on Learning

Knowledge

Losing, in a curious way, is winning."
