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 quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow 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.

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 tint 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 not quit."

Calm

"Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!."


- William Wordsworth -

For the next generation

There was an elderly person planting some acorns. A man passing by asked, "Old man, look at your age. Do you think you will live long enough to see the oak trees?" And the man replied, "All the trees that have given me shade and fruits - did I plant all of them? There are people coming behind me too."

Ada seorang lansia menanam beberapa biji. Seorang pria lewat dan bertanya, "Pak Tua, melihat usia Anda. Apakah Anda pikir Anda akan hidup cukup lama untuk melihat pohon ini?" Dan orang itu menjawab, "Semua pohon di sini telah memberi saya naungan dan buah - Apakah saya menanamnya ?.

Ada orang yang datang sebelum saya juga."

Power of Hoping

"Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless.The end of every episode is the end of the world.

But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged."

Competition

"The wages of work is cash.

The wages of cash is want for more cash.

The wages of want more cash is vicious competition.

The wages of vicious competition is -

The world we live in."
