A Personal Creed
Don't Quit
Time
Do
not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It
is because we are different that each of us is special.
Do
not set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only
you know what is best for you.
Do
not take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling
to them as you would your life,
for
without them, life is meaningless.
Do
not let your life slip through your fingers
by
living in the past nor for the future.
By
living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Do
not give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing
is really over until the moment you stop trying.
It
is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Do
not be afraid to encounter risks.
It
is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Do
not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find.
The
quickest way to receive love is to give love;
The
fastest way to lose love is too hold it too tightly;
In
addition, the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Do
not dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope;
To
be without hope is to be without purpose.
Do
not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been,
but
also where you are going.
Life
is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

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 everyone 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 worse,
that you must not quit.
Imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with
$86,400,
carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash
balance,
and every evening cancels whatever part of
the amount you had
failed
to use during the day.
What would you do?
Draw out every cent, of course!
Well, everyone has such a bank. Its name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every
night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have
failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no
balance. It allows no overdraft.
Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it
burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's
deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the
"tomorrow". You must live in the present on today's
deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in
health, happiness and success!
The clock is running. Make the most of today..
