Answer 3

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road your 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 if you must but don't you quit.

life is strange with it's twists and turns.
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about.
When he might of won if he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow.
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out.
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and you can never tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst........
THAT YOU MUST NOT QUIT

Someone's always worse off than you. I know it's pessimistic, but thinking realistically, sadly, it's true.
