I'm really sorry to see you leaving, LAAFan. You've been a great adopter, so here you are:
![]() |
The Adopt-a-User Barnstar | |
This barnstar is awarded for being an excellent adopter. Your guidance and assistance helped me to improve greatly, and I have become a much better editor than what I was when we started my adoption process. Thanks a lot. Chamal talk 11:36, 24 October 2008 (UTC) |
I was saving this until my adoption process was ended, but since you've decided to leave... I don't think I'll need another adopter, you have taught me almost everything. Hope you will return some time. Cheers and good luck in real life. Chamal talk 11:36, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry to hear about you going. Did something happen? - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 18:22, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
- I never got a chance to work with you closely, and I only just noticed your retirement message at RyanCross's talk page, but I just wanted to say I respect all the work I saw you doing around Wikipedia before you left. —Politizer talk/contribs 23:10, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Don't Give Up
I didn't really get to know you all that well, but we'd had brush-bys. Anyway, I'd like to share this little gem with you just in case you ever do check this page.
Don't Give Up
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit --
Rest if you must, but don't quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow --
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a fair and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out --
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, --
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
