~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A great accomplishment takes a lot of perseverance.

Never give up, because you never know
if the next try is going to be the one that works.

Many times you will be surrounded by adversity,
But no matter what, don't give up.

Success is just around the corner
For the person who refuses to quit.
