you want to give up....

you want to give up....

Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.

Everything is okay in the end, if it's not ok, then it's not the end.

I do it because i can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

Never tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
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,
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.

I am Thankful :
