Because success is:
A success poem that encourages you to keep on keeping on.
DON'T QUIT
by Edgar A. Guest
by Edgar A. Guest
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.

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.

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.

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.
and when you never can tell how close you are,

Do you have a favorite saying that helps you through learning process or tough times?

I haven't read your last post Belle, so I don't know what the mess is yet!! I will read it in a minute. Good for you for being so positive about it anyway. I think all of us women - and men- of a certain age are doing prett good with our blogging and trying to keep up with all this new technology. Perhaps we deserve a little pat on the back sometimes!! That poem is awesome! Would you mind if I borrowed it for my Blog ?
Don't beat yourself up for that. If you don't try, true you can't make mistakes, but you can't advance either. So it's a good thing trying and figuring things out. I am now following you thanks to Thirsty Thursday and it would be so nice if you could share the love back on my blog:)

I love the blog. Don't beat yourself up when you are just beginning. Think of it this way, when a baby is learning to walk, they are constantly falling. If they gave up because they fell, then they would never learn to walk. But if you watch, every time the baby gets up and tries again, they always smile because they are amazed at what they can do.
Oops! LOL! I almost forgot.
Stopping in from Thirsty Thursday. I am a new follower here.
