LETTERS TO MY PRESENT SELF: PART 1

Dear Boba,

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.

Life is strange with its twists and turns as every one of us sometimes learns, and many failures come about .When she might have won had she stuck it out; Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with the next blow.

Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and you never can tell just how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far; so stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit - it’s when things seem worse that you must not quit.

For all the sad words of tongue or pen,

The saddest are these: "It might have been!"

B.
