Memo to self: When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road youre 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 dont you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a person turns about When they might have won if they stuck it out. Dont give up though the pace seems slow-- You might succeed with another blow. Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victors 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-- Its pressing on past fear and doubt-- So stick to the fight when youre hardest hit: Its when things seem worst that you mustnt quit!
