Backward or forward for-ward you must go. So don't try tho impossible. If you are standing still in your job you had better quit. It will certainly quit you soon euuugh in any case. Keep alive. Don't be dead at your work. Even where you have u routine position you can work with spirit you can look around for ways to better yourself, you can study, you can think. Energy is u wonderful thing; few can resist It If you use your energy and don't let It die Id you. il will push you ahead. For you canft stand still, and if you determine not to go back you are sure to gc ahead. |
