Do Not Quit!

"Keep Going"

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
“It’s a slow process but quitting won’t speed it up”

Anything worth having in life

is worth waiting for,

worth working for.

It may take years,

but if you ‘keep going’,

you will eventually

receive or have it.

If you quit —

you’ll never receive or have anything.

Which is best?

When a mother is first pregnant,

nine months can seem ever such a long time,

but when she holds her new-born baby in her arms,

the wait “IS” worthwhile.

A student

studying for his or her qualifications

does not quit,

because the five years of hard studying

is worth it to become

the doctor who can (and does) save lives.

A ballet dancer

starts from a very young age

to learn the steps,

the routine

and the movements for Swan Lake.

This takes many years

but the end performance

is beautiful to watch.

If you ever feel like quitting

just remember =>

you won’t receive anything by quitting.

And it does give you a sense

of achievement

when you, at last, finish the job.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
