Right now I'm reading FAILING FORWARD which is a wonderful reminder that success isn't about winning and losing or avoiding mistakes. It's about tenacity and embracing imperfection. I had this pinned inside my locker in high school and it has served me well...<br /><br />Don’t Quit<br /><br />When things go wrong; as they sometimes will, <br />When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, <br />When the funds are low and the debts are high, <br />And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, <br />When care is pressing you down a bit, <br />Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.<br /><br />Life is queer with its twists and turns, <br />As everyone of us sometimes learns, <br />And many a fellow turns about, <br />When he might have won had he stuck it out. <br />Don’t give up though the pace seems slow, <br />You might succeed with another blow,<br /><br />Often the goal is nearer than, <br />It seems to a faint and faltering man; <br />Often the struggler has given up, <br />When he might have captured the victor’s cup; <br />And he learned too late when the night came down, <br />How close he was to the golden crown.<br /><br />Success is failure turned inside out, <br />The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, <br />And you never can tell how close you are, <br />It may be near when it seems afar; <br />So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, <br />It’s when things seem the worst that you must not quit.<br /><br />Author Unknown<br /><br />Kim Kimberly Sabatinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143516055206233316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-71370724416537241342013-08-18T22:11:52.897-04:002013-08-18T22:11:52.897-04:00Congratulations to the top 10!Congratulations to the top 10!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-51397159315780192532013-08-18T21:28:22.160-04:002013-08-18T21:28:22.160-04:00Omigosh!
