Never give up

People often ask me: where do you find the strength.  How come you keep going when most of us would have given up?

Well, apart from probably having been a pitbull terrier in a past Life, I have had a great teacher Anthony Robbins who told us: when do you stop and give up?  When you've reacherd the target.  Otherwise you change your approach and continue.

This text has been on the wall of my office for many years now, and whenever I change offices, the text travels with me.  I bought it in a little gift shop in Ashford, Kent, UK.

And ofcourse it is called ... never give up.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When 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 every one 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 so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
