GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #164

If you are about to give up….

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #163‘.

Good morning Friends,

So, you’re about to give up, you’ve had enough,
Life, you’ve concluded, has been rather tough.
Nothing seems to click,
You’re, of it, totally sick,
There appears to be no way out of the rough.

Failure appears to stare you in the face,
It would be nice to get out of the “rat-race“.
You want to call it a day,
And come what may,
You don’t want to live with failure and disgrace.

But, wait a minute, have you given a thought,
About what you had in the beginning sought?
Why should you give up now,
And take a hurried bow,
Why can’t you give it just one more shot?

How’d you know success is just a step away,
And life is waiting for you with a big bouquet?
You give up before the dawn,
But find the dark night has gone,
Won’t you actually regret it the very next day?

Hold on a little longer and please persevere,
Believe that your chosen goal is very near.
Yes, there is much pain,
And unstoppable rain,
But, wait for the colourful rainbow to appear.
 
….believe that you are close to the top.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
