Don't You Quit!
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
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 queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You might succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silent 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 light when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst
that you mustn't quit!

Acts 20:22-24
"And now, behold, I go
bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing
the things that shall befall me thee: Save that
the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city,
saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. But
none of these things move me, neither count I
my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish
my course with joy, and the ministry, which I
have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the
gospel of the grace of God."
Acts 20:22-24

Read this somewhere.. my church's bulletin.. hmm.. found it meaningful with regards to the life of a few of us now ba.. so decided to copy it here.. to share it.. =q
hmm.. here's my summary of it.. in case some ppl don't get it.. lolz..
It mainly filled with advices on what to do..
1) Rest when you are tired.. but dun quit.. which means.. get back to it when you are no longer tired..
2) Failure and problems are always there.. but dun give up.. cause you may succeed the next time.. won't it be a waste to put in so much effort to fail on the last step? "行百里者，拌九十”。。。 wasted lor..
[if can't read chinese characters, go 'View', 'Encoding', 'Unicode(UTF-8)']
3) Success is hidden among failures.. if there isn't failures, how would you know when you have succeeded? So keep fighting [spiritually.. not physically.. lolz..] when you feel you are in the worse situation.. in a lot of problems.. when things seem worst.. =q
-> From Acts 20:22-24:
Summary:
You never know what gonna happen to you.. you may be in troubles.. problems.. but dun let yourself be troubled by it.. instead, do what you have to do in joy.. the best way you can and get the best out of it!!
----------------------------------------
hmm.. what above is how i interpret it lor.. yap.. hope these will explain some of the questions you have in mind.. make you realize life isn't that bad if you face it the right way.. yap..
----------------------------------------
In conclusion :
Pray to the Lord for what you wish..
And the Lord will answer : "Yes, No or Wait.."
Be patient.. ;p
