Be encouraged by a try, try again poem. You succeed in life when you are determined and try again; don't quit and don't give up!
You can always try again, one more time, perhaps a different way, or perhaps with some help, but what is most important is that you do try again.
As Thomas Edison once said, "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up." When we don't attempt to try again it truly is a weakness. And, Nick Vujicic clearly states what happens when we stop trying:
"Defeat happens only to those who refuse to try again."
The poems here all encourage us to try again, perhaps a different way or using a different method, but always try again if you want to find success!
When you've tried and failed and lost,
When astray your plans are tossed,
Other days are just ahead;
Other men have fought and bled;
Others oft have tried and said,
Try, try again!
When life seems an empty state.
When you pause and question fate.
Other men have heaved a sigh;
Other men have longed to die;
Others, too, have paused to try —
Try, try again!
When you've cast your die and failed.
When your star has waned and paled.
Other men have lost their way;
Others stuck and won the day;
Others now in wisdom say.
Try, try again!
When the world's been cold and rough,
When you meet each harsh rebuff,
When misfortune's flailed you blue;
Circumstances dogged you, too,
Then there's one way left to you —
Try, try again!
When your head feels just like lead
And you don't know which way to tread,
Don't throw in the towel, don't give up,
Sit back and drink from your coffee cup!
When it looks like nothing will work
Just take a few moments to perk,
Your spirit and take a deep breath
To try something totally fresh.
Now you feel ready for round two
You're ready to try something new!
This try may result in a way
That success will be found, making your day!
Wipe off your chin, pull down your vest;
Allow nothing to ban your way,
Fight harder still to win the day,
Then things are bound to come your way.
Don't claim that fortune passed your door
And gave your lucky neighbor more.
You'll find Old Lady Luck is for
The man who works and don't get sore -
No matter how the rain may pour.
If hard fate deals you a slap,
Don't curl up like a yellow sap;
Knock all obstacles off the map
An show 'em how a man can rap.
When 'gainst the tide turn on more stream;
Any dead fish can float down stream.
To breast life's currents, take the tip:
It takes a live one, full of zip,
That nothing, short of death, can whip,
Just keep on tryin'.
It's not enough to simply try and fail,
No matter how much time does pass.
To truly reach higher goals you must persevere,
And keep pushing no matter the task.
What's important here is your attitude,
No need to get down in the dumps.
Instead, view failure as an opportunity,
Take time to reassess, and then get back up!
So don't be afraid of adversity,
When you come across it instead charge on!
Accept advice but remember one thing,
The best remedy always is "try try again".
Look for possibilities, toil away the night
The discouragement overcomes, you feel no light
Do not despair of your efforts in vain
Success may be just around the corner if you try try again
Overwhelmed and exhausted, too weary to fight
Just keep going on and see things in a different light
In time, with persistence its power will sow
Keep striving onward, trust that soon you'll know
If we don't give up and try one more time
We may discover the way
Be persistent, confront fears head on
And your efforts they will pay!
No matter how frustrated you feel,
One more time, just try again,
For if you believe it is possible,
The challenges soon will be slain.
Let go of the doubt from within your mind,
Trust your abilities, don't be blind.
Everything takes time to unwind,
Persevere and never give up in kind.
The path to success may weave but it's true,
If you keep at it something good will ensue.
Be proud of taking this step anew,
You'll eventually succeed through and through.
Have your efforts proved in vain?
Do not sink to earth again;
Try, keep trying:
They who yield can nothing do;
A feather's weight will break them thro';
Try, keep trying:
On yourself alone relying,
You will conquer; try, keep trying.
Falter not! but heavenward rise!
Put forth all your energies;
Try, keep trying:
Every step that you progress
Will make each future effort less;
Try, keep trying:
On the truth and God relying,
You will conquer; try, keep trying.
Ponderous barriers you may meet,
But against them bravely beat;
Try, keep trying:
Nought should drive you from the track,
Turn you from your purpose back;
Try, keep trying:
On yourself alone relying,
You will conquer; try, keep trying.
You will conquer if you try,
Win the prize before you die;
Try, keep trying:
Remember, nothing is so true,
As they who dare will ever do;
Try, keep trying:
On yourself and God relying,
You will conquer; try, keep trying.
Accepting defeat, and not trying again
Is accepting failure which then
Sees all my hopes start to fade
Until I learned that mistakes are pathways made.
With determination and lessons, I did learn
I try again to achieve what I did yearn.
For in trying again, the seed of triumph grows,
And from the ashes of defeat, success surely shows.
If boys should get discouraged,
At lessons or at work,
And say, "There’s no use trying,"
And all hard tasks should shirk,
And keep on shirking, shirking,
Till the boy became a man,
I wonder what the world would do
To carry out its plan?
The coward in the conflict
Gives up at first defeat;
If once repulsed, his courage
Lies shattered at his feet.
The brave heart wins the battle,
Because through thick and thin,
He’ll not give up as conquered -
He fights, and fights to win.
So, boys, don’t get disheartened
Because at first you fail;
If you but keep on trying,
At last you will prevail;
Be stubborn against failure;
Try! Try! and try again;
The boys who keep on trying
Have made the world’s best men
It is clear that when facing difficult times, it is important to remain determined and resilient. Even if solutions are not immediately apparent, you should never give up on trying to find a way forward.
These poems demonstrate the importance of perseverance and remind us that, no matter how hard things seem, there is always hope for a better tomorrow. Ultimately, by staying focused on our goals
and refusing to give up, we can make our dreams a reality.
