Don’t quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
(Excerpts from “Don’t quit” by Edgar Albert Guest)

“We regret to inform you...” These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but words every writer knows well. The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence. You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time to write your life’s work, yet still this is often not enough. 【Everyone knows that success rarely happens overnight, but perhaps not many know that a lot of highly successful writers have previously faced rejection.】

Take for example J.K. Rowling. 【When she received her first rejection letter, she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favourite writers,】and stuck it on her kitchen wall. Rowling had spent years surviving on little money, spending all her time writing. When she finally finished her first book, she received comments from publishers along the lines of “too difficult for children”, “too long”, “Children would not be interested in it”.

Nevertheless, she persevered. “I wasn’t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen,” she later posted. After a total of twelve rejections, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a global success, with over 400 million books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages.

All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection. J.D. Salinger started writing short stories in high school, but later struggled to get his works published. 【“We feel that we don’t know the central character well enough” was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher in the Rye. 】 Despite rejections from several publishers, J.D. Salinger refused to give up.

The Catcher in the Rye
Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to three sisters from Victorian England who dreamt of seeing their words in print. This, however, was a time when women were not encouraged to become writers. As the then Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, wrote to one of them: “Literature cannot be the business of a woman’s life, and it ought not to be.” Nevertheless, the sisters didn’t stop trying.

Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies, the sisters still didn’t give up. They started writing novels, and today Charlotte Bront ’s Jane Eyre, Emily Bront ’s Wuthering Heights and Anne Bront ’s Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature. In fact, it is within the pages of Jane Eyre that we can find these words: 【“I honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends...”】

Don’t quit
当事情常常不如人意时，
当眼前的道路如登山一样步履维艰时，
当资金短缺而债台高筑时，
当笑意已到嘴边但不得不掩面叹息时，　
当生活已被烦恼充斥，让你不堪重负时，
好好休息一下吧！但是，请不要放弃。
生活就是布满曲折与蜿蜒，
正如每个人都会学到，
许多情况下，当你坚持下去，
事情就会出现转机，
纵使脚步缓慢也不要放弃，
再努力一次成功可能就会来到。
成功就就在失败的背面，
它是乌云中透出的一丝银光，
而且你根本无从得知你离目标到底有多近，
看似天涯可能却是比邻。
所以，奋斗下去即使当你遭到严重之极的打击，
正是事情不如意时你更不能放弃。
