Don't Quit

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
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.

PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE

Why the difference between success and failure is patience and persistence

So why are patience and persistence the difference between success and failure?
In order to understand this fact you must first know how and why success happens.

Success is all about trial and error. Let’s assume that you are a salesman, in order to successfully sell the product to one customer you certainly need to talk to at least 10 customers so that one of them buys it.

Now what if a sales person talked to only three people then gave up? Will he succeed? Of course he will never succeed unless he remains patient and persistent until he meets the right customer who will make the purchase.

The difference between those who succeed and those who fail understands this fact.
Here is why patience and persistence are crucial for success:

• Why is patience needed for success: Back to the sales person example: If that person didn't become patient even though he is facing rejections he will never come across the right person who was going to buy. There is no such a thing as a lucky person because being lucky is all about continuing to the end until you come across the right opportunity
• Why is persistence needed for success: Now let’s suppose that this sales man became patient and did nothing but kept waiting. In this case he might miss the chance to succeed because he wasn't persistent enough to keep developing his skills even though he is making no sales.

sexual violence

Women and girls are often raped by soldiers or forced into prostitution. For a long time, the international community has failed to address the problem of sexual violence during armed conflict. However, sexual assaults, which often involve sexual mutilation, sexual humiliation, and forced pregnancy, are quite common. Such crimes are motivated in part by the long-held view that women are the "spoils" of war to which soldiers are entitled. Trafficking in women is a form of sexual slavery in which women are transported across national borders and marketed for prostitution. These so-called "comfort women" are another example of institutionalized sexual violence against women during wartime. Sexual violence is sometimes viewed as a way to destroy male and community pride or humiliate men who cannot "protect" their women. It is also used to silence women who are politically active, or simply inflict terror upon the population at large. Mass rapes may also form part of a genocidal strategy, designed to impose conditions that lead to the destruction of an entire group of people. For example, during the 1990s, the media reported that "rape and other sexual atrocities were a deliberate and systematic part of the Bosnian Serb campaign for victory in the war" in the former Yugoslavia.
