My friend sent this email this morning and it's perfect. I've printed it out and put it on the fridge and I wanted to share it here too, to remind me again.

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 don't you 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.

Success is failure tuned inside out

The silver tint of the cloud 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

You must not quit
