Giving Up?

Sleepless night.
Arise early.
Pass time browsing the internet.
Ran across this motivational, inspirational poem written by a teen-ager in Oregon.
If a young man can entertain these thoughts, why should we do less?

I will never give up
No matter what the odds are
No matter what people say
No matter how far I will never give up
.
If I throw it away time after time
If I am one step behind try after try
If I miss dime after dime
I will never give up
.
Even when it seems all over
Even when no one else believes
Even when it seems I can go no further
I will never give up
.
For I know I have strength within
For I know I can persevere
For I know that I can win
I will never give up
.
Because it's someone else's fault
Because I am settling for good enough
Because I fear that I will fall short
I will never give up
.
There is so much I can still do
There is too much talent to waste
There is so much in me that I want you to see
I will never give up
.
Why squander all of my hard work and dedication
Why not show the world that I am a fearless baller
Why quit when I still have the opportunity to go on
I will never give up
.
If I do, I will not be the best me that could live
If I do, I will never know what I am capable of
If I do, I am not giving the world all I can give
I will never give up
