For Shame!

Oh yes, I'm posting another poem. :D  I really like this poem, too. :D  If you take anything from it, I hope that it encourages you to never to give up doing something just because its hard and to always push on despite difficulty.  So, without further ado, I present "For Shame!":



 "For Shame!"
I.T.

For Shame! to those who said they couldn't,
And wouldn't even try,
Who thought since they would be defeated,
it wasn't worth their time.

For Shame! to those who said they would,
And never lived up to their word,
Who backed off when the way was hard,
And chose never to return.

Noteworthy quote #1 (of many to follow.... :D)

 Merry followers!  I am late!  Very late on posting!  Thank you for sticking with me despite that.  Right now, I'm in Utah visiting/helping my Grandparents.  (More on that later, though.....)  Today, I wanted to share with you something that I found.  A couple of monthes ago, I was at my Grandma's house (I've been visiting her a lot) flipping through one of her many magazines and came across a wonderful quote.  It was inspiring.  After I read it, I voted it as one of my favorite quotes!  Hence, I want to share it with you all.  Let me know what you think :D   


“People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
– from Mother Teresa’s wall
