But these messages are sometimes hidden, and you have to read attentively to make them out. Almost all poetry has messages to deliver - lots of them, profound and diverse as stars. Looking for the poem’s subject is natural. The subject of a poem is the idea or thing that the poem concerns or represents. The speaker says how much courage and strength of character it takes to do that. In the short poem “On Quitting” by Edgar Albert Guest the theme is about how being able to quit something you really love or are passionate about can be really tough. Perry.” (He was eighteen at the time but claimed to be twenty-two.) What is the speaker saying about quitting? Now you know what to do, to become successful! Beneath success there is failure and beneath failure there is success.Still unable to support himself, Poe enlisted in the United States Army on May 26, 1827, under the pseudonym “ Edgar A. Ken Robinsonįailures are just ways to motivate you to work harder. If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original. Life is unpredictable but always hope for the best despite that you never know what will happen next. Quitting is equal to throwing out something which would’ve changed your life! You’ll regret it when you realize that you were so close to achieving your anticipated goal, but then you gave up. Don’t quit because of the struggle because when you quit you lose the chance of coming out victorious. Success comes from times of struggling and not giving up. No situation is hopeless, keep hoping for better days! You may be so near to where you want to be. Don’t let your current state of weakness or miserable situation to cloud your judgment. Yet it could be nearer than what you think. You might be so near to capturing your victory, but even then you ought to be consistent and keep on going! Never show your back to the “golden crown.”Īt a time when you are uncertain and you lack strength, you may perceive the aspired goal to be so far away. Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. So, don’t give up even if you fail many times. You may succeed the next time you try again. Stay patient, even if you feel that people are overtaking you, just stay calm and trust yourself.
Learn from the hard moments and apply the lessons to create sunny futures. When things go awry, take a break but NEVER GIVE UP!Īt an amusement park, the most electrifying and stimulating rides are labyrinthine rollercoasters with twists and turns! Similarly, the ride of life is hair-rising, hence it is exhilarating! Sometimes it goes up, and sometimes down. Note that the poet says “when” and not “if” because he want to affirm that things will be dolorous and you need to face it head on! Just like how roads aren’t always straight, even the occasions of life aren’t ship-shaped, they can go uphill. Sometimes our plans go well and life continues as we want it to, but sometimes things do not work out as wished. The poet starts off by clearing stating that things aren’t always a breeze. Wasn’t this poem a breath of motivation? I loved it! It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit. So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,Īnd he learned too late when the night slipped down,Īnd you never can tell how close you are, When he might have won had he stuck it out ĭon’t give up though the pace seems slow– When the funds are low and the debts are high,Īnd you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
