Change Your World..

Change Your World



You cannot change the world, 
But you can present the world with one improved person -
Yourself. 
You can go to work on yourself to make yourself
Into the kind of person you admire and respect. 
You can become a role model and set a standard for others. 
You can control and discipline yourself to resist acting
Or speaking in a negative way
Toward anyone for any reason. 
You can insist upon always doing things the loving way, 
Rather than the hurtful way. 
By doing these things each day, 
You can continue on your journey
Toward becoming an exceptional human being.

Don't Quit


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 might 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 afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
