Don't Quit

4/15/2015

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 twist 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.

Disease Called Average

AVERAGE is what the failures claim to be when their family and friends ask them why they are not more successful.

AVERAGE is the top of the bottom, the best of the worst, the bottom of the top, the worst of the best. Which of these are you?

AVERAGE means being run-of-the-mill, mediocre, insignificant, and also-ran, nonentity.

Being AVERAGE is the lazy person's cop-out; it's lacking the guts to take a stand in life; it's living by default.

Being AVERAGE is to take up space for no purpose; to take the trip through life, but never to pay the fare; to return no interest for God's investment in you.

Being AVERAGE is to pass one's live away with time, rather than to pass one's time away with life; it's to kill time, rather than to work it to death.

To be AVERAGE is to be forgotten once you pass from this life. The successful are remembered for their contributions; the failures are remembered because they tried; but the AVERAGE, the silent majority is just forgotten.

To be AVERAGE is to commit the greatest crime one can against one's self, humanity, and one's God. The saddest epitaph is this: "Here lies Mr. and Ms. Average -- here lies the remains of what might have been, except for their belief that they were only AVERAGE.

-Edmund Gaudet
