Don't Quit

In yesterday's entry, I mentioned that to make the most of the paper, I put some inspiring words on the back of the lyrics I handed out to students.  The words go as follows.

Don't Quit

Don't quit when the tide is lowest,

For it's just about to turn; 

Don't quit over doubts and questions,

For there's something you may learn.

 

Don't quit when the night is darkest,

For it's just a while 'til dawn;

Don't quit when you've run the farthest,

For the race is almost won.

 

Don't quit when the hill is steepest,

For your goal is almost nigh;

Don't quit, for you're not a failure

Until you fail to try.

Simple, but powerful words!
