Persevere and get it done.

Persevere

You have to persevere
with everything you do in life.
If you don’t persevere,
you will never get what you want.
You try and try with no success
and feel like throwing the towel in.
If you do that with everything,
how can you ever succeed?
You have to persevere
in everything you do,
it may take a month
and maybe even a year,
but if you persevere with it,
you will succeed in the end.

Working with children with autism has provided me with an opportunity to see the world in a different way. I see them strive to overcome obstacles and persevere, and learn to persevere myself. They are my inspiration.

I admire the human race

i admire the human race
though god is way beyond
comprehension
beyond their time, intelligence
yet they persevere
to find him, get close to him
i admire the human race
though god is such a
hard subject to swallow
yet they persevere
trying all means to get close to him
some inspired, some misled,
some fall, some brush him aside
yet the whole human race
never gives him up
i admire the human race
who could hang on to something
they could never even see

Perseverance

You taught me Dad, from when so young,
To always persevere.
If at first you don't succeed
You'd murmur in my ear.
Don't give up you always said.
There's no such word as can't.
So never wilt, just try again,
And never say "I shan't".
For it's worth so much that glittering prize.
Worth the best that you can do.
Sometimes you feel you'll triumph not,
But you will, for I know you!
So Dad I simply want to say
That persevere I do,
And when I feel like giving up,
My thoughts they wing to you.
You taught me long, and I learnt hard,
That if I want to succeed,
I must simply do whatever it takes,
To complete that word or deed.

Press Them More

P eople power against the evil never fail the battle
R ealities has it that the attainment of success is always possible
E specially to those that persevere to the end
S ome people lost hope one last rung to the success ladder
S o should you persevere to the end no matter the inducement to do otherwise

T he road to success is always full patholes
H ardly you got any comfort but the biggest traffic of challenges
E ndure through the dark cloud to get the silver lightening
M ust not you bow down no matter the storm!

M y message for you is just a reminder
R emember that any challenges before you can be turned into an opportunity
E specially if you believes in the beauty of your dream.

You must read, you must persevere, you must sit up nights, you must inquire, and exert the utmost power of your mind. If one way does not lead to the desired meaning, take another; if obstacles arise, then still another; until, if your strength holds out, you will find that clear which at first looked dark.

To My Dear and Loving Husband

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.

I prize thy love more than whole Mines of Gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompence.

Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
Then while we live, in love lets so persevere,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Hold On

As I stepped to the edge on the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience beating
Like the pulse of a drum that hammers on and on
Until I reach the break of day
When the sun beats down on the halfway house
Has my conscience beating
The sound in my ear
The will to persevere
As I reach the break of day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on to
Gotta hold on
Hold on to yourself

A cry of hope
A plea for peace
And my conscience beating
It's not what I want for
It's all that I need
To reach the break of day
So I run to the edge of the shadows of a doubt
With my conscience bleeding
Here lies the truth the lost treasures of my youth
As I hold on to the break of day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on to
Gotta hold on
Hold on to yourself

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on to
Gotta hold on
Gotta hold on
Hold on
Hold on to yourself

Friend To Friend

(bernard edwards/nile rodgers)
When I gave all of my love to you
I said you were a dream come true
Good to you,
So good to you
Is what Im gonna be
And I hope you fall in love with me
Persevere is what well do
What well do to make
Our love everlasting
Oh, friend I owe all of my life to you
I said you were a dream come true
I dont want
No, I dont want to be so cold to you
Its just a defence that I sometimes use
I have often thought that i
Had no love to give
But its yours for the asking
Ooh
I have often thought
I had no love to give
Its yours
Yours for the asking
Oh friend
I give my life to you
I say you are a dream come true
Oh friend,
Oh friend
I give my life to you
I say you are
You are a dream come true
Friend to friend

It Never Rains

I hear the seven deadly sins
And the terrible twins came to call on you
The bigger they are babe
The harder they fall on you
And you youre always the same you persevere
On the same old pleasure ground
Oh and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down
You had no more volunteers
So you got profiteers for to help you out
With friends like that babe
Good friends you had to do without
And now theyve taken the chains and the gears
From off your merry-go-round
Oh and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down
And your new romeo
Was just a gigolo when he let you down
See the faster they are babe
The faster they get out of town
Leaving make up stains and the tears
Of a clown
Yes and it never rains around here
It just comes pouring down
Oh you were just a roller coaster memory
I dont know why I was even passing through
I saw you making a date with destiny
When he came around here asking after you
In the shadow of the wheel of fortune
Youre busy trying to clear your name
You say i may be guilty yeah that may be true
But Id be lying if I said I was to blame
See we could have been major contenders
We never got no money no breaks
Youve got a list of all the major offenders
You got a list of all their major mistakes
And hes just standing on the shadows
Yes and you smile that come-on smile
Oh I can still hear you say as clear as the day
Id like to make it worth your while
Ah but its a sad reminder
When your organ grinder has to come to you for the rent
And all youve got to give him
Is the use of your side-show tent
Yes and thats all that remains of the years
Spent doing to rounds
And it never rains around here
Well it just comes pouring down
Now you know what they say about beggars
You cant complain about the rules
