Lamyaa Hanchoi in her beautiful poem gives us all a strong message.
Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In,
There’s always an answer to everything.
This, my friend, is for you
The trials that you face and the dreams that you chase
You’re behind in your race
And you’re straying from your pace
Your mind is scattered all over the place
and you’re desperate for space
Little did he know this is your time to embrace
Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In,
There’s always an answer to everything.
So, don’t sit hour after hour
While your tribulations tower
Don’t forget the countless blessings
Ever rich you have been showered
Find your strengths and your powers
To rise above the cowards
Oh the flowers
That gives off its scent
When it’s crushed and devoured
Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In,
There’s always an answer to everything.
And I found myself running from calamity
INSANITY to SANITY
This is REALITY
That we forget who created us and molded us
And made us human beings
With the details and fashion of
DNA and GENES
Who gave us a mind to judge our own actions
And routines by all means
Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In,
There’s always an answer to everything.
And YES, life can be quite a MYSTERY
And the key to success doesn’t come free
And if you believe that this is all decreed
Then what will be will be
But I guess not everything that we wish for is not always
GUARANTEED
But your efforts won’t be FRUITLESS
Don’t ever think you’re USELESS
We all serve a purpose
So please don’t feel HOPELESS
Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In,
There’s always an answer to everything.
And no, you’re not just another number
To be dispose of after
You are a mother, father, sister, brother, friend and a lover
To be true to yourself is worth the struggle
Although the critics make you suffer
Trees lose their leaves
Only to blossom
By the summer
Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In,
There’s always an answer to everything.
So, repel negativity with positivity
And watch life bring every single possibility
And have an attitude
For gratitude
And if you want to be happy
That’s exactly what we’re meant to do
Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In,
There’s always an answer to everything.
If you have reflected on every word that it said, you will realize how emotionally weak we as humans are. History tells us time and time again, those who succeeded in life were people who believed in the possibility, who were adamant on seeing the sunny side up, regardless of however the circumstances are with you.
Take Winston Churchill, when he was the prime minister, and when his country was the verge of war. He came on the stage to talk to his troops, his speech was just 3 sentences. Never Give up! Never Give up! Never Give up!. And he ended his speech. He was the only one who had the guts to stare down at Hitler and save the world from Nazi domination.
Most of you would know Oprah Winfrey. She has dealt with a lot throughout her public life—criticism about her weight and color, but she never let it get in the way of her ambition and drive. Growing up, Oprah was reportedly a victim of abuse and was repeatedly molested by her own family friend. Later, she gave birth to a child at age 14 only, who passed away just two weeks later. But Oprah persevered, going on to finish high school as an honors student, earning a full scholarship to college, and working her way up through the ranks of television.
Who knows the famous harry potter series? in 1994, J.K. Rowling the author of the book had just gotten a divorce, was on government aid, and could barely afford to feed her baby just three years before the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone, was published. she was so poor she couldn’t afford a computer or even the cost of photocopying the 90,000-word novel, so she manually typed out each version to send to publishers. It was rejected dozens of times until finally Bloomsbury, a small London publisher, gave it a second chance after the CEO’s eight-year-old daughter fell in love with it.
Just remember dont give in, don’t give up, there is always an answer to everything!
