Robert Frost I am not

Yesterday was the anniversary of probably some of the most stressful times for a lot of people around me, especially a lot of you that read this blog. Its great to see so many of you now succeeding and flurishing in new areas of your careers. Many like myself, are starting new businesses and moving forward in spite of the hard economic times in the technology industry. As I have been cleaning my office I stopped to look at a poem I put on my wall that drives me everytime I read it. I thought I would share it with you, and hope you will gain the internal wisdom and motivation to keep going.

Don't Quit

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 don't you quit.

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 go wrong,
that you mustn't quit.
