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.
some say hard work, others say its confidence whilst many harp on about self belief.
Whenever i get asked about success, there is only one poem that my father showed me and one quote that my mother instilled in me that pulls me through :
Success is 20% hard work and 80% confidence. Work hard for something you love without bothering for results, success will follow.
and in times when that drive dampens down :
“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 aboutWhen 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 thanIt seems to a faint and faltering man,Often the struggler has given upWhen 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.
