Don't Quit
by
John Greenleaf Whittier
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
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 strange with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure comes 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 turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just 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 that you must not quit.

"Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them."
-Jack Canfield
Believe in yourself and hold yourself accountable. Always do what is right even when nobody is around. Your actions can set the tone for success for those around you.
Please remember to go to work on time, work safe, work hard, take your lunch break, leave work on time and take pride in your work.

"We can become prisoners of ourselves. One must dig tunnels to escape one's own mind. We get just this one life. We have to stop doing time and live out our lives like we planned in our youth. No matter where we are, or how old, we can always reach for our dreams."

You should appreciate what you have and look to improve yourself always. If you never appreciate what you have you stand to lose it. If you never improve yourself you will never achieve your potential. At the end of your life at some point you are going to examine the life that you have lived.
Do you want to be the person who looks back at their life and is happy and proud of the way he/she lived or do you want to be that person who is full of regret and remorse for not living a fulfilling life?
Only you can honestly answer these questions.
Only you know if you are taking what you have for granted.
Only you know if you are doing all you can to live a fulfilling life as a complete person - for yourself and your family.
Live every day like you have something to prove to yourself.
Be positive, be proud, be happy and honest with yourself and those around you. If you fall pick yourself up.
If you make a mistake learn from it.
If your tired - rest.
If everything is getting to you give yourself a break.
If you need help ask for it.
If somebody needs your help give.
Life is as good as you want it to be.
Remember no matter what happens in life it is temporary.
If your having a great day - ENJOY IT!
If your having a bad day remember it will end and tomorrow represents that chance that everything can be better.
Most important - REMEMBER EVERY DAY REPRESENTS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. DON'T WASTE A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME - GO FOR IT - BE THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE!
Please remember to get to work on time, work safe, work hard, take your lunch break, leave work on time and take pride in you work.
It is never too late to be what you might have been. -George Eliot
Invictus
BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
Don't Give It Up
Poet: Z. Vujcic, © 2007
Today life gave you another slap
but don't give it up
throwing your towel in the ring
for things gone wrong, for words that sting
'cos there must be another way
you will see it in the light of another day
When everything seems sour, not in your favour
look around until you find better flavour
so, don't just give but live it up
pick up the pieces, be tough
grind your teeth and turn another cheek
don't give it up, that's exactly what they seek
It's too easy to walk away
quitter never wins so you should better stay
look challenges straight in the eye
don't say yet the last good-bye
fight like an animal in a trap
but don't give it up
"Most people who succeed in the face of seemingly impossible conditions
are people who simply don't know how to quit." Robert Schuller
“Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals.
If you aren’t grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
Promise Yourself Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel like there is
something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
every living person you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
strong for fear, and to happy to permit the
presence of trouble.
The Optimist Creed From The Optimist International
Never give up. When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you until it seems that you cannot hold on for a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time when the tide will turn.
— Harriet Beecher Stowe
When times get tough, it’s tempting to just throw in the towel. However, the tough times are exactly when you should press even harder and keep moving toward your goal. What seems impossible to get through or accomplish today may be possible tomorrow if you only hang on and don't give up. Your breakthrough will often come when things are the toughest. Your greatest achievements come when you persevere the most - when you never give up. When you never give in. When you fight with all your might. That is when you are at your best. That is when you can get through anything. That is when you can accomplish the impossible.
If
By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
"You can’t be passive and just accept whatever comes along and think that’s your lot in life. We all have bad breaks and disappointments. Those challenges are not there to defeat you; they’re there to promote you … But you have to do your part and get your fire back." —Joel Osteen

Keep moving forward."

“Dare to Be
When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.
When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.
When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.
When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.
When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.
When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.
When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.
When times are tough, dare to be tougher.
When love hurts you, dare to love again.
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

"An error doesn't become a mistake until we refuse to correct it. Wake up every day stronger than yesterday, face your fears and wipe your tears."
We all know the famous idiom "To err is human". Therefore, it is common to make mistakes but the best thing is to correct yourself with time. Every day, we can make improvements to become a stronger, fearless and successful person.
If all we do is focus on the fact that there is an obstacle instead of figuring out how to overcome that obstacle we will never reach the level of success that we are capable of.
