Please post words of encouragement here.

Sometimes things don't go the way they should, and anybody gets discouraged from time to time. Sometimes there doesn't seem to be any point in trying anymore, or reason. Sometimes tomorrow never comes, no matter how long you wait; how many sunrises. Sometimes.

I think a good share of the folks around here have had hard times, where all you can see is darkness...
I've been there, and I've also been a guiding light for others during those times.
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall"
"We don't stop laughing because we grow older, we grow older because we stop laughing"

... smile.. it makes people wonder what you're thinkin

Whenever I'm down and desperate, with no hope in sight, in the depths of despair, I always sign the "Jet" song from West Side Story for inspiration. Maybe you have to be from NYC to appreciate but it works for me!!!

Another good one is "Cool" from the same musical

Music heals and knowing that you have a big family here (at TechIMO) of good people looking out for you.

Never commit suicide. You have to see what happens next!

[Theophylact]

Here's another:

From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no man lives forever,
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.

-- A. C. Swinburne, The Garden of Proserpine

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
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 quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone 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 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.

I just gotta post up my favorite!

"My son, My precious child. I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you"

-Footprints in the Sand

You're never alone my friend, we'll always be here for you...
