Though the stress has been high
Though the hours have been long
Though the sacrifices have been many…

Persist. Your work is worth it.

I know your friends doubt you.
I know your critics slander you.
I know your competition hates you.

Endure. Your work is worth it.

In spite of your frustrating time constraints
In spite of your various resource challenges
In spite of your obvious financial deficiencies…

Overcome. Your work is worth it.

Today you must persist.
Today you must endure.
Today you must overcome.

Your work is worth it.
