Don't Quit

Years ago, many roads in the south were dirt roads and became muddy and a big mess during rainy weather.  One day a young boy was traveling down such a road with his father.  They came up on a neatly dressed man whose car was stuck in the mud.  The man was standing in the mud trying to get his car out.  The father stopped and asked the man, “How are you doing?”  The man looked at him, with a confident smile on his face and said, “Tired, oh so tired, but I’m still trying.”  The father and the boy got out of their car and helped him get unstuck and on his way.  The father said to his son, “Remember what that man said – tired, oh so tired, but still trying.”  That’s a great lesson for life.  When you get tired, don’t quit, keep trying.  You never know who will come along to give you help.
