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 quit

Life is queer with its twists and turns
As everyone of us at sometimes learns
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won if he’d stuck it out
Don’t give up through 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 struggle has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup
When he learned too late when the night came
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 worse that you mustn’t quite

Making a decent income at home online is the dream of many people, as it would provide them with a golden opportunity to live the life they have imagined. However, few people actually have the resources or the determination to make it work. It is possible to work at home over the Internet, but not everyone knows how to pull it off. Here are a few tips on how to make a decent income online from the comfort of home.
Look for the Right Opportunity

When it comes to making income at home online, there are so many different opportunities out there that it can be difficult to find one that is legitimate. There are many scams that try to get people to invest in them to provide a way to make money from home. Most of the time, an individual is not going to be able to simply try out the first thing that they come across and be successful at it. Finding the right opportunity takes some trial and error. It also can be aided by reading reviews about opportunities to see exactly what other people have to say about them. When checking online reviews about a business opportunity, it is important to make sure that the reviews are unbiased.
Persistence
Once an opportunity is identified that has some potential for success, it is important to work with persistence. Many people have a little bit of success with an online business opportunity, and then struggle. Some choose to give up in this situation while others continue to plug away. Those who continue working are usually the ones who do the best in their careers. Those who give up usually move from one thing to another without ever really finding any success.
Discipline
Regardless of what type of online business opportunity is pursued, it is important to make sure that a specific schedule is followed. Although working at home online does provide some flexibility in scheduling, the individual should still work specific hours. Many people who make the jump to working online end up working on an irregular schedule. This leads to problems, because they don’t end up getting all of their work done. For those who want to be successful working at home online, it is essential to stay disciplined and work when it’s time to work. This might mean staying away from the other members of the household in an office until the work is done.
Overall, working at home is a golden opportunity that makes it possible for a person to be his own boss and to make an unlimited amount of online income. To make it work, it will just take the right opportunity coupled with the right attitude.

I found this in an e-mail and now is on my wall.


There comes a point in your life when you realize:

Who matters.

Who never did.

Who won't anymore...

And who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
