“Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.”–Richard M. Nixon

I write today’s quote to instill a bit of motivation within myself. What can I say? I am approaching the end of my quarter and this is when it gets really tough (not that it isn’t during the whole quarter). Research projects are usually due, finals are arriving and I am left with little strength. I am trying to remind myself that giving up is not an option. I do, often, feel like a failure when I don’t seamlessly execute my work. I have to remember, “this too shall pass.”

Have you ever felt weak and weary? I’m not much of a Nixon fan, but I am definitely with this quote. I will not let my head hang down because I can do this. I will not sit down and grieve because it isn’t over. Finally, I will not pray only when it rains because I pray when the sun shines as well! Horray!

Have a great weekend!
