Longevity Hack: #2 of 5 Anti-Aging Secrets

by

Get Your Stubborn On

We often associate stubbornness with the aging grandma who refuses to give up driving, . . . or the spouse who constantly locks himself out of the house yet still chooses not to put a spare key underneath the mat in the garage. But a determination to stay the course and a refusal to change an attitude about something despite what others might say isn’t always a bad thing. The athlete who got cut from the varsity team for two years and then finally made it because he refused to give up is remarkably stubborn. So is the runner who insists on the same trail run each morning in snow and rain and heat and the gloom of night. In these cases, stubbornness is inspiring. Your stubbornness is a longevity friend.

The Quitter ~ Robert W. Service

The Quitter
 Robert W. Service
 

      When you're lost in the Wild, and you're scared as a child,
       And Death looks you bang in the eye,
      And you're sore as a boil, it's according to Hoyle
       To cock your revolver and . . . die.
      But the Code of a Man says:  "Fight all you can,"
       And self-dissolution is barred.
      In hunger and woe, oh, it's easy to blow . . .
       It's the hell-served-for-breakfast that's hard.
 

      "You're sick of the game!"  Well, now, that's a shame.
       You're young and you're brave and you're bright.
      "You've had a raw deal!"  I know — but don't squeal,
       Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.
      It's the plugging away that will win you the day,
       So don't be a piker, old pard!
      Just draw on your grit; it's so easy to quit:
       It's the keeping-your-chin-up that's hard.
 

      It's easy to cry that you're beaten — and die;
       It's easy to crawfish and crawl;
      But to fight and to fight when hope's out of sight —
       Why, that's the best game of them all!
      And though you come out of each grueling bout,
       All broken and beaten and scarred,
      Just have one more try — it's dead easy to die,
       It's the keeping-on-living that's hard.
