TOPIC: Keep going.

Dont quit when the tide is lowest,
For it's about to turn;
Dont quit over doubts and quetions,
For there's something you may learn;
Dont quit when the night is darkest,
For it's just a while till dawn;
Dont quit when you run the farthest,
For the race is almost won;
Dont quit when the hill is steepes,
For your goal is almost high;
Don't quit for your not a failure,
Until you fail to try!
~ Jill Wolf

If you've never trod the valley,
You can never see the heights,
If you've never walked in darkness,
You'll never see the light,
If you do not climb the hill ahead,
You can't look round the bend,
If you're never really lonely,
You'll never need a friend,
If you've never failed, and failed again,
You'll never try your best,
If you've never suffered sleeplessness,
You'll never know true rest,
If you've never stumbled through the clouds,
You'll never see the blue,
If you've never suffered grief or pain,
Real joy won't come to you,
For the one calls forth the other,
As onward we must go,
Don't ask me how I found this out,
Let me just say "I know".
