I've Come To Far To Turn Around

Hello Babies! I hope you have had a wonderful weekend. Have you ever felt like giving up? Just throw in the towel, throw your hands up and say the heck with this? I know you have because I have had plenty of days like that. Then there is that one person (or persons) or something that makes you say "I can give up now. I come to far from where I started from." As the first semester winds down and it will be Christmas break in 7.5 days (including today), you can't give up. You got to work a little bit hard and stay focus. You are Almost There! So continue to work hard and keep your head up. Don't stress it will be alright in a few. Love you much and want to leave you with this:

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 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.
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 slipped 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 so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

  3. I know i've had my share of times where I just wanted to give up. But I've came to far and refuse to give up. But plan to press on a little bit harder and a little bit longer.

  11. I just had that thought today in my 1st period class. I didnt feel like doing my work and I wanted to just quit but I know that I have a goal to reach and I dont want to fail just because I was being lazy.

  12. I've had plenty of times where I've felt like giving up, but then i'll sit back and have a talk with God & realize that I've came to far to quit now. I've worked hard for anything that I've done and i'm not gone give up for nothing in the world.
