THE QUITTER

Posted by Unknown On Thursday, March 25, 2010 18 comments
Have you ever felt like quitting, like giving up, many of us have. As you read the words of wisdom in this inspirational poetry on quitting, I hope the poet's thoughts inspire you not to quit. The second poem I've posted this evening is called IT TAKES COURAGE. Both poems are dedicated to all my blog readers...May you all be inspired and be blessed by these poems.



THE QUITTER
-Author Unknown-

It ain't the failures he may meet
That keeps a man from winning,
It's the discouragement complete
That blocks a new beginning;
You want to quit your habits bad,
And, when the shadows flitting
Make life seem worthless and sad,
You want to quit your quitting!


You want to quit a-laying down
And saying hope is over,
Because the fields are bare and brown
Where once we lived in clover.
When jolted from the water cart
It's painful to be hitting
The earth; but make another start.
Cheer up, and quit your quitting!


Although the game seems rather stiff
Don't be a doleful doubter,
There's always one more inning if
You're not a down-and-outer.
But fortune's pretty sure to flee
From folks content with sitting
Around and saying life's N.G.
You've got to quit your quitting!

It Takes Courage
Poet Unknown

It takes strength to be firm,
It takes courage to be gentle.

It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.

It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubt.

It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.

It takes strength to feel a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.

It takes strength to endure abuse,
It takes courage to stop it.

It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on another.

It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to be loved.

It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live.

May we never quit in our good fight and may we have the strength to survive and the courage to realize our dreams. Do leave a comment to share your thoughts/views. Thanks. Have a blessed evening.

    Justice If we allow ourselves to be defeated, all the excuses in the world will get us nowhere.
    Defeat is a defeat no matter how eloquently we may try to justify ourselves. The important thing is to win where we are right now, and to achieve victory without fail.

    Anonymous Life is about scaling one mountain, then facing the next one, followed by the one after that. Those who persevere and finally succeed in conquering the highest mountain are victors in life. On the other hand, those who avoid such challenges and take the easy route, descending into the valleys, will end in defeat. To put it simply, we have two choices in life : We can either climb the mountain before us or descend into the valley.

    QQ Let's forge ahead and advance in high spirits! Let's smile in the face of adversity and triumph over everything, with the confidence that we can successfully take on any challenge!
    Yes, we can't deny that the going seems to be getting tougher and more are falling by the wayside!
    Remember, half-hearted efforts in any struggle will get us nowhere!

    Masterwordsmith Dear QQ

    Thanks for your words of encouragement, dear QQ.

    Bad times make us better, not bitter.

    Tough times also make us tougher.

    And when it is going tough, the tough get going!!

    Onward march and let us surge forward with determination, perseverance, hope and faith that yes, there will be a new day one day....

    Take care and God bless you.

    Anonymous Hulu Selangor MP Datuk Dr Zainal Abidin Ahmad died tonight of brain cancer, triggering the country’s 10th by-election.

    ~~ Malaysian Insider

    PKR, please choose your candidate wisely and do not take it for granted that the seat will fall back to you.

  1. says:

    ahoo When the going gets tough, only the tough gets going ??? No, it should be all people must be up and going. No point warming the pew if that seat is to be allocated to others. Each new day itself is already a miracle.

    Every which way we face the day, there will be adversity coming our way. How we react to it will determine where we stand in such a time like this.

    Whatever we accept and believe determines how we behave,.... and how we behave determines what we achieve or don't achieved. So never ever think of quitting for that's a loser's game.

    Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm.

    Passionate people are a rare breed and may you be counted as one for your passion in writing. For passion fuels enthusiasm. Just keep it coming,.... ya !

    Unknown Dear ahoo

    It is always a pleasure to read your thoughtful input and encouraging words. Indeed you are right - I feel very passionate about writing, my blog and many things too :-).

    We are in the same nation with the same vision and must continue to pass on the flame lest it flickers weakly. Take care and God bless you!


    Thanks so much for being a source of encouragement and inspiration.

    Shalom
