Inspiration

“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 all is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don’t you quit; Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint on the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems far. So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.”

– John Greenleaf Whittier

“A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.”

That’s all you can do. You can’t compound the negativity. You’ve got to try and be positive.”

“Grit? What is it? I believe it’s driven by love. Inspired by vision and purpose. Fuelled by optimism and belief. Powered by faith and hope. Revived by resilience. Kept alive by stubbornness. And if we’re honest includes some fear of failure and desire to prove oneself”
