I hope this does someone some good....
Don't Quit
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill.
When 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 about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
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 so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not QUIT.

I read this poem loong back somewhere and copied it in my diary. I used to go back to it every now and then, but then I forgot about it completely. Thanks for reminding:)
Quite true.
On another note, when is your trip due? Hope things are good on that end. Cheers! :D
i love this poem.... have it written on my wall on a chart. read it every morning. :-)
he he... am i the "someone" in the title of this post.. bad joke... :-p
Mailed you this. just in case.
Dear rapz
I am not going to ask you what happened. I don't even know why I am mailing you. I know the futile consequences of my words. But I just wanted to say this. Don't go. Don't stop blogging. If it has made you feel good in the past, why stop? It's just a pile of words but you/your writing inspired me to sponsor a kid. It might do a world of good to people like Bhaskanya. But if it is at the cost of your satisfaction, I guess you are right about the decision. If at all you plan to blog again, do let me know. Fare well. Hope every tomorrow is a better day(at least a majority of them). You will be missed.

hey rapunzel...i dont know why you're leaving this blog, if you really are..but rather than give some advice...ill just say...goodbye and good luck, dear virtual friend...
couldnt find a way to use the tag board. had some random thoughts,
do your best and leave the rest to god,
what matters is not if god is with us, but are we with god.
light from a star reaches at the speed of light, we cannot change the speed of light or the rotation of the earth, when the light reaches earth we dont see the star in its original state as now, nor is the earth the same as when the light left the star.
made sense to me.
I was just wondering how ironic it is that this post says "Dont quit" and your next and last post says "Let it go".
Why do not you get some good of this poem? Why are you quitting?
hey, i am gonna miss reading ur blog 'coz though it has been a virtual tow-way journey, somewhere our thoughts do get entwined esp. when i think that i feel almost the same way like u do.
Miss u girlie n all the best in watever u do..
Hi, it maybe true that some people dont take time to care for people in their life, and it is the reason they do visit blogs and post comments and are happy to see people doing good.. Its not in finding the answers, but its in the sharing, sometimes a very storng idea can be broken by a casual remark by someone, so a sharing is not bad I feel. Do share , you may be inspiring someone to change their life and to start care for people in their life.
Why do I have the feeling that your "Let go" was a very early Fool's day spoof?
Take care
