Tough Times Don't Last, Tough People Do
Dr. Robert Schuller's quote "Tough times don't last, tough people do" If you have read the book Tough Times, Tough People, by Dr. Robert Schuller, you know what he means. His life was rough. He was socially awkward, academically mediocre, and was always the last player picked for a sandlot baseball team. He spent a lonely childhood tending his father's cattle. While he has always been an outspoken proponent of hard work, he never ceased to believe in miracles.
