Don’t Be A Quitter

Welcome to My Marketing Thoughts

I want to begin this blog with a poem I read somewhere — I can’t remember where — But, it’s so apt, it just stuck in mind.

You see, for a long time I was constantly whining about my lack of success in business, despite having gathered a head full of knowledge about anything and everything about internet marketing.

What I forgot to do was to put any of that knowledge into action.

Like I kept saying to my students in school, you can have all the intelligence in the world, but it’s no good if you don’t put it to use.

What I’m saying is, don’t just read everything I write and expect things to happen.

If you want to achieve anything, you have to do something about it.

So, with that, enjoy.

Don’t be a quitter

Don’t be a quitter
When the job is tough.
Or fail in trying,
When the going is rough.
A well worn path
Is easy to find,
When following the crowd,
Is left close behind.

To make a new trail
May be left to a few,
For a worthwhile task
Is not easy to do.
But the proof of the fighter
Is how long he can stand
The reigning blows
From the opponent’s hand.

No blaze of glory
May follow your name.
Or titles of honour
Deserving of fame.
Yet, in being a victor,
Rewards have their due,
When joy in the doing,
Belongs to you.
