Keep on going !

[Morteza Olangui]

Hi: By Frank L.Stanon (1857-1927)
If you strike a thorn or rose
keep a going
if it hails or if it snows,
keep a going
`t aint no use to sit and whine
when the fish aint on your line
bait your hook and
keep a going
when the weather kills your crop
keep a going
though `t is work to reach the top
keep a going
s`ppose you`re out of every dime
getting broke ain`t any crime
tell the world you`re feeling prime
keep a going
when it looks all is up
keep a going
drain the sweetness from the cup
keep a going
see the wild birds on the wing
hear the bells that sweetly sing
when you feel like singing, sing
keep a going.
I heard this on a radio station. I wrote it down. When I am dissapointed I read it . It is helpful. Thanks ,

Desiderata


Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.


If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.


Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.


Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.


Strive to be happy.
