    Hi! friends,
    Just came across this poem which has several pointers to convince us that we must never say DIE and quit however tough the going gets.......have a peek at these lines.

    Don't Say "I 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 quite a bit,
    Rest if you must, pause, but don't you quit.

    Life is queer with its twists and turns
    As everyone of us sometimes learns,
    And many a person turns about
    When they might have won had they stuck it out.

    Don't give up though the pace seem slow -
    You may succeed with just another blow !

    Often the goal is nearer than
    It seems to a faint and faltering man:
    Often the struggler has given up
    When he might have captured the victor's cup:
    And he learned too late when the night came down,
    How close he was to the golden crown.

    Success is failure turned inside out --
    The silver lining 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 seem worst that you must'nt quit !

    ------ Author Unknown

    A neat little capsule with wisdom of great depth.....very relevant for all, whatever task they are engaged in.

    warm regards

    Dear L Chechi,

    Such a lovely poem. Dont give up in life irrespective of the hardships that one faces.
    There always a silver lining. I guess being happy helps. An optimism, positive attitude , the right perspective will help us win.

    Lovely, simply splendid. Thankyou for sharing it here.

    Love,
    Devikutty
