Do you ever feel like giving up?
We all need support and encouragement in our lives. There may be many times when you feel like giving up – when you begin to experience self-doubt, when you wonder if your goal is worth the effort. The next time that happens, remember these words:
Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.
–Marie Curie

Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before. –Jacob A. Riis
