a step towards my goal

REST if you must, BUT DON'T you QUIT!

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 do not 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.

This poem is really very inspirational to me...most specially because I'm hoping to graduate...At times, i really feel almost as if i would like to quit and retreat away from all the stressful problems at school, most specially projects that are time-demanding...but thank God! for He is always with me to guide and strengthen me all the way...I'm also very thankful for my ever supportive family because they"re always there when i feel like giving up...

Before i sleep at night...i always try to envision myself the way i would like to be in the near future...but as i think of it...i cant help but doubt myself , can i really graduate, will i make it till graduation day?

Our life as students nowadays are so full of problems, series of projects with the same submission day, problem regarding money for tuition, cotribution and everyday expenses...this are some of the problems i face...right now i wondered, can i really make it?..

With the help of God, support of my family and with my unfailing determination... I really hope that i can make it.
