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 when 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 odd with its twists and turns,
As everyone 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 turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems do far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit.
It's when things seem worst
That you must not quit'

I think this is a meaningful poem, so I wanna share with my readers. I know this poem on 14/02/2005, Valentine Day. It has been guiding me along since then. One of my guiding principle: Don't give up. Giving up means that you have totally failed. No way!! I think I have enough of quiting here and there. I really don't wanna be like what JJ has sung in one of his songs:

(Translated from chinese to English)
Because after a thousand years,
I will no longer exist in this world.

Well, taking my QET in a few hours time, and I'm not giving up the fight. I'm also gonna fight for my future, my family and my beloved ones. Even if people condemn me, there's a song which goes like this:

I'll find my way,
I want a different way.

I will find a way for my future, no matter what people say. That's it.
