One of the students I supported as a teaching assistant was very similar to Alex Jeffreys.  He had dyslexia and when he left college I gave him a poem called Don’t Quit with the instruction if anyone ever suggested he couldn’t do something, he read it and prove them wrong.

I was reminded of both the other day when Dean Holland posted a video on his site.  It’s very inspirational but for those of you who haven’t the time to watch the You Tube Version, here’s the written word.

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 queer with its twists and turns

As every one 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 hadn’t seen the young man for almost three years and amazingly bumped into him (almost literally) the other day.  What a coincidence – or was it?

If you’ve watched The Secret then you’ll be aware of the Law of Attraction and the concept that your thoughts create your life.

What you focus on becomes stronger.

That’s why I’m going to focus on becoming successful with Alex Jeffreys coaching program in 2009 and follow my own advice – i.e. Don’t Quit!

It’s like Alex says:- “Quitters NEVER Win and Winners NEVER Quit”
