Don't Quit!


GUESS WHAT? I take half day leave today because I don't feel very well. So, after settle up matters with few urgent customer, I go off back home and right now typing this entry before I take my medication and off to lalala land. Ya, I know you might don't care at all but still I want to let You know. Maybe someone out there will pray for my recovery right??? (*wink2)

Okay, let get back to the title above. Poem for my kids father? Why? Actually he is felling down since last Tuesday because his advertisement of high grade (replica) sunglasses in mudah.my has been removed/declined due to complaint from other distributor. He said it might be because of his price which is cheaper than other distributor who advertise their goods on mudah.my. Things worked pretty good before this and my hubby has purchased quite lots of stock and hoping to sell it all in order to have extra buck for this coming Hari Raya. He said, he felt like quitting but I told him not to give up just because of one obstacle. This one flaw of him really worry me..(*sigh)

Then, as I browsed through academictips.org  on Wednesday I found this very inspiring poem that might uplift his spirit, so I sent him an E-card with this poem in it, hoping that he get the hidden message..Yay, that night he said "THANK YOU" with a huge smile..Thank God, My effort worth it and my prayer answered after all.. FYI, I am not good in talking and I don't really know how to persuade/cheer up someone by talking. When I encounter situation that need persuasion and cheering up, I normally used words (written one ya) to show my concern but I am not "Jiwang" okay.. 
That's me..How about you all?

So, do you know anybody who is in same situation like my kids father? Try to send them the poem below..Who know, it might help them to lift up their spirit.. Well, since I need my nap now before my head explode, enjoy the poem and GOOD DAY everyone!!! (^^) V

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 you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but do not quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one 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.

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 so far,
You can't never tell how the race will end,
A victory may lie just around the next bend,
so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
 
P/S: I got teary dreary when I read this poem because it's so inspiring...

I Am Like A Flower

I am like a flower
Not sure of when I will die.
Not sure of when I will grow back again
When I am crushed with pain and cry.

I am not sure if I can hold myself up
When I ache with unbearable pain
What do I do when my petals fall off?
Do I go find them out in the rain?

What do I do when I'm not given enough water, to make it through the day?
What do I do when I look up in the sky?
And the sun doesn't show a ray?

I stand as tall as a flower would,
As long as I possible can.
I will stand and show my colors,
That is what I plan.

I may drupe and my petals may fall,
But that won't stop me from growing.
My love, honesty and beauty,
I will keep showing.

I am like a flower,
Strong and supreme.
I may be trampled on,
But I will never lose faith in my dreams.

What do you all think about the poem above? Do you really think you wanna be like a flower? I likes this poem but in reality I don't want to refer myself to a flower. I preferred myself to be like a tree or a coconut..Hahahaha, funny but I really do hope that I am like a coconut tree that useful even when it withered and dead. Yet, if I wanna be a flower, I want to be a white rose with thorn (a very sharp thorn indeed)that mirrored the pure and sincere personality yet strong enough to fight any intruder and obstacle.. (Hahaha, my hubby pretended to puke when he read this sentences)

However, I am happy with my being and I am grateful that I am human that gifted with mind to think and heart to feel. Well the poem above was just a beautiful metaphoric that pictured and described the thinking of the author and Gosh it's really  nice poem that able to lift up the spirit of a woman like me.
