Trumpeting your success

"Unless you blow your own trumpet there is no music"

-Digby Jones (attrib)

"He who blows his own trumpet is usually a soloist"

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill
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, you must - but don't you quit
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As everyone 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 might 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!

by Quinton Howell

Problems

"The art of life is to deal with problems as they arise, rather than destroy ones spirit by worrying about them too far in advance."

Cicero, Imperium by Robert Harris
