Words of encouragement

[Jennybrie]

I am starting this thread because as I am reading through the posts I hear a lot of negative thoughts about our choice of career. I think that it's time that all of us get a boost of encouragement and if you have anything encouraging to say, please post them.

1: You will succeed in anything as long as you are determined to to it

2: A test is just that, if you do bad, learn from it and move on. A low score doesn't mean your not going to succeed, it just shows you that you have to change your studying practices and/or time management. You will do better the next time

3: You can always repeat a class. If your final grade isn't good enough for you then take the class again. The way you learn may condratict with how an instructor teaches. A different instructor can mean the difference between a C and an A due to teaching styles, attitude, etc.

4: The words can't, don't have time for, won't be able to, etc. can never be apart of your vocabullary!

Here are some quotes to lift you up

"When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place."

~ Unknown

"Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can."

~ Unknown

"When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,

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."

~ Unknown

Good luck to all of you! Don't give up and stay strong.

I'd like to add one of my personal favorites
