Answer 2

I'll write an excerpt from my own poem, let's see if people like it. I wrote it over a couple of years back, don't have a copy of the published version, just writing what I can recall and adding up something fresh. It talks of how human life, at times, becomes a struggle and how it proves to be tough to hold on to one's values and convictions. The poem shows how a piece of coal, if it withstands times and difficulties, can turn into a diamond. (According to what is famous: Coal and diamond are 2 different forms of pure carbon, coal can turn into diamond owning to the pressure and heat under the earth's crust). In life one should face tough situations while holding on to truth and one's moral ethics. Hope this is inspirational. Also, it has the message of positivity and perseverance. "Long long ago, it's a tale too old, In the depth of the earth, there was a big strong coal. ... It had never liked the pressure or the heat, Sitting below the earth, a thousand feet. ... It sadly saw its friends being fetched one after another, But then smiled and recalled what one heard of one's mother. ... And so did it pay this patient wait, That it too was extracted, though late! And wonder of wonders, dear o dear! It was no longer a coal mere. It had grown in value too far, Diamond had it turned, excellence par!" There are other sayings, but the one that I have made mine is "The only substitute of hard work is harder work".

Answer 5

Inspiration to not give up:
WWII: A certain Nazi general, whose forces completely surrounded and outnumbered the Allied forces, sent a messenger to the Allied general stating the Nazis would graciously accept the Allies' honorable surrender. The Allied general's reply:
"Nuts!"
It was one helluva morale booster-- and, yes, the Allies went on to win that battle. My apologies, but I forget the town/battle or the particular generals involved.
