Follow Your Dream And Don't Quit email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11587)   ranked 225 out of 38,095 in life3 years ago

Some time ago I got two coffee mugs in my 99 cent store, that had what I think are beautiful sayings on them.. This is one of them and I like to share it with you:

FOLLOW YOUR DREAM

..." Follow your dream wherever it leads
Don't be distracted by less worthy needs
Shelter it, nourish it, help it to grow
Let your heart hold it down deep where dreams go.

Follow your dream, pursue it with haste;
Life is too precious, too fleeing to waste...
Be faithful, by loyal, then all your life through
the dream that you follow will keep coming true..."


Here is the saying on the other mug, called Don't Quit


DON'T QUIT:

"...When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't quit.

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 afar,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit...
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!..."

I haven't a clue who wrote these wonderful words, but I just love them. If anyone knows who wrote these two poems I'd love to know!!

Well, I don't know who wrote it.
The wodings are great.

But, I will say something that perhaps you won't like.
Don't take anything from outside,
any inspiration you take from outside, actually, makes you a person who needs a support to stand. You r strong enough, just go, nothing can happen to u.

Wow! i am like in a time machine, i have not read this verses for decades! I remember buying cards and posters during the 80's having these verses on it, i cant remember who wrote it but i remember it's a hallmark maybe by amanda bradley or the famous ANNONYMOUS!LOL. thanks for this one because it reminds me to move forward and never give up.

I did a quick search of Amanda Bradley's poems and Follow Your Dream is not among them...

True, one should not lose touch with his or her dreams. I have the dream of stopping work with 60 years old, then its enough slavery for that office and bosses. I try to save up to bridge the 7 years from 60 to when I can retire and claim cash with 67 years old.
True, we dont do many things other couples take for granted, like going on vacations or buying clothes or gadgets all the time. But we know what we save up for and its really worthwhile.

wow that was beautiful,and you so right always follow your dreams and never give up,because eventually they will come true if you have alot of patience,and be very consistant.i know this from experience.when i was 10 years old i always told my mom that i will be a hairstylist like her and i will have my own hair salon,well i did become one and i have been doing it for 15 years now and i owned my own salon 4 years ago,and i had it for 7 years,but then my partner was moving,and i was moving and i got married and had my babies so we sold it,but it was something i dreamed of and i did make it come true.hopefully i hoping to have another one in the next year or so,well take care and god bless you too for your great achievments.pattie

Thank you for the two good sayings. I have no idea who wrote them either.

Yep, we never could tell how close the success are, it may be near when it seems far.:)

Thanks & wbr, Andy

I don't know who wrote these poems, pyewacket, but they really carry a message for us all. So often we will defer our dreams or give them up entirely. Anyone who is thinking of doing either, should read these poems. I believe in the old saying that where there's life, there's hope. We should never, ever give up on our dreams because it is, in essence, giving up on ourselves.

Both poems are great with lots of wisdom. I love Follow your dream. Don't quit is one that I've heard before as it was quite familiar. Maybe it was something that went the rounds of email or something.

Hello pyewacket,

That's really wonderful poem you got there.

People who wrote that do has a very strong compassion in coming up with that one.

Well anyway, I can't help it after reading those to copy past it to my personal document.

I hope you won't mind me copying it.

Again thanks' for posting that. It just gave me more strength than I can handle.

Quiters never wins, and winners never quit. Go for our dreams ....


angle007 (98)   ranked 11,127 out of 38,095 in life  3 years ago

I totally agree and winners never quit


myLot reputation of 81/100. lowellpendon (619)   ranked 2,963 out of 38,095 in life  3 years ago

Quinton Howell wrote Don't Quit. What is on your mug is an abbreviated version of the poem. I've attached a copy of the little card I have on my fridge... even it doesn't give him credit!

As for Follow Your Dream, various and sundry poems have that title (or Follow Your Dreams--plural) but I haven't found the particular version you have quoted. I do know it wasn't Helen Steiner Rice nor Amanda Bradley nor Rainer Maria Rilke... all popular inspirational versifiers, whose works often end up on cards and such, sometimes uncredited.
