The going gets tough? we get tougher!
Most of us may have already faced real tough times in our lives. There were times when we were almost overwhelmed by the challenges we face and we thought of backing out,
One of the tougher challenges I faced before was when I joined a Fraternity in the University. The initiation rites went on for one month and the final rites for 1 whole day. "One day in Hell!"
I got beaten black and blue but I never regret it because I learned one very important thing. During the initiation, we were required to seriously memorize the poem "Don't Quit". In the final rites, we were told to recite this poem out loud while being hit with the paddle.
That experience made me a survivor and strengthened my will power to keep it going when the going gets tough.
I would like to share this poem from my heart, to all members of the WA Community.

Depending on the situation because sometimes quitting is the best thing to do. No sense in trying to move an immovable object. Besides you get the opportunity to start over, chances of success are better because you know what not to do.
Ah, but you are not talking about quitting, you are talking about changing the plan based on what does not work and that is not the same.
Edison found 10,000 ways not to make a light bulb, he did not give in to quitting, but he did change his plan a lot to get to where he wanted to go.

Thanks Ruel, believe me I can relate to that, at my age I have been there more than once. Also remember it is always darkest before sunrise. Good luck and God bless.
Thanks George for giving more inspiration! When we start something we have to finish it, and we must finish strong!
Wow, what a post! Very far away from me, content-wise, but I do see what you are saying and what it means to you. So since we're not all ticking the same way I say yes, this is a great post. Thank you.
Love this poem Ruel ...I t 's a great one ... but for me it's early morning here ... getting ready for work ... will take the bacon and eggs ... and pass on the PADDLE ... will get that at work later ... ha ha ... thanks ...
Great post! As Les Brown says: "If it's hard, then do it hard" :)
I've also heard Eric Thomas speak some of that poem, and now I know where it comes from, so thanks :)

Yeah!! I really love this poem but the author is anonymous. How I wished to know his/her real name so I can personally express my thankfulness.
