Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.
.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but do not quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never 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 go wrong that you must not quit.
.
When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.
.
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
.
"You don't concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done."

There are no short cuts to any place worth going."

Aristotle
