Tough times never last,
but tough people do
Some people are swept away with their problems
but those who stand firm are very few.
An inner voice says, 'don't quit, don't quit'
Never in dismay, give up hope and sit.
Success is never easy,
it comes bit by bit
Failures are the ladders of success
Learn from your mistakes and do your best.
Tough people do the same
They wrestle with their problems
And don't make excuses which are lame.
They smile, when tears cloud their eyes
They never miss an opportunity
and are wise.
They are always in control of their actions
and by their hard work failure seems like a fiction.
