Dont 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 you 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 when 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, you must not quit.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

-William M. Thackeray

Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.

-Joshua J. Marine

Seek the lofty by reading, hearing and seeing great work at some moment every day.

-Thornton Wilder

I Think I can

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you won't
If you like to win, but don't think you can,
It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, your lost;
For out in the world you'll find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in a state of mind.

For many a game is lost
Before even a play is run,
And many a coward fails
Before even his work has begun.

Think big and your deeds will grow,
Think small and you'll fall behind,
Think that you can and you will;
It's all in a state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise;
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever take home the prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
More often than not, the man who wins
Is the Man who thinks he can.

My Wage

I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;

For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have paid.

-Jessie Belle Rittenhouse

Only by going too far can one possibly find out how far one can go.

Agneepath - The path of fire

Again a beautiful poem by Harivansh Rai Bachchan

Agneepath Agneepath Agneepath,
Vriksh ho bhale ghane, ho ghane ho bade,
Ek pat chhav ki mang mat, mang mat,
Agneepath Agneepath Agneepath.

Tu na thakega kabhi, tu na thamega kabhi, tu na mudega kabhi,
Kar shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath,
Agneepath, Agneepath, Agneepath.

Ye mahaan drishya hai, chal raha manushya hai,
Ashru swed raqt se lathpath, lathpath, lathpath,
Agneepath, Agneepath, Agneepath.

-Harivansh Rai Bachhan

Koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti

A beautiful hindi poem by Harivansh Rai Bachchan

Lahron se darkar nauka kabhi paar nahi hoti
koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti

nanhi chinti jab dana lekar chalti hai,
chadhti deewaron par sau baar fisalti hai,
manka vishwas ragon me sahas bharta hai,
chadhkar girna, girkar chadhna na akharta hai,
mehnat uski bekar har baar nahi hoti,
mehnat karne walo ki kabhi haar nahi hoti,

dubkiyan sindhu me gotakhor lagata hai,
ja ja kar khali haath laut kar ata hai,
mile na sehaj moti gehare pani me,
badhta duuna vishwas is hairani me,
muthi uski khaali har baar nahi hoti,
koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti,

asaflta ek chunauti hai, sweekar karo,
kya kami reh gayi, dekho aur sudhar karo,
jab tak safal na ho chain ki neend ko tyago tum,
sangharsh ka maidan mat chod kar bhago tum,
kuch kiye bina jai jai kaar nahi hoti,
koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti.

-Harivansh Rai Bachchan

"Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't as all. You can be discouraged by failure - or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you will find success."

-- Thomas J. Watson, Sr.

I would rather fail in a cause that will ultimately triumph than to triumph in a cause that will ultimately fail.

-Wilson, Woodrow

Whenever I hear, "It can't be done," I know I'm close to success.
