Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way.
With success comes many ups and downs, many obstacles of defeat, including a few failures, but never stop trying. Don’t allow your mind to tell your heart what to do. The mind gives up easily. Give it your all, fall down often, get back up and laugh at yourself, with good friends and, of course, never give up. Never give up hope under any circumstances or situations, no matter how bad it may seem right now, because there is hope, and things will get better if you don’t give up. Yes ,no matter what life hands you believe in your worth and never give up. Defeat doesn’t finish a man, quitting does. A man is not finished when he’s defeated. He’s finished when he quits. You can’t quit or give up before you get it! It is easy to give in, quit, or become stuck in the past. But, remember this, it takes just as much energy to move forward as it does to engage in self-destructive moaning, blaming, and being miserable. The real truth is that all throughout history, those who failed but didn’t quit because of it were the very ones who succeeded. There are numerous examples of failure first and success later within one’s own backyard. No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.Others give up and turn back. But the child of God does not have to stop or go back; he can use the rocky places in life as stepping-stones to climb higher.. The desire to succeed for these champions of success was the ‘no option to quit’ attitude. Giving up to them was the same as agreeing to stop breathing – it would never happen.
… never, never give up – no matter how hopeless the situation . try, try, and keep trying is the rule that must be followed to become an expert in anything. Sometimes you may feel like you are just about to realize your goal only to fall short. That is no reason to quit. Defeat happens only to those who refuse to try again. Every great journey begins with one step and it begins with moving forward, turning on the engine, and shifting into the right gear at the right time. Remember, going through pain is temporary and it will subside, but quitting on the other hand lasts forever. If you are in a period of discouragement because you are going through a trial and you are asking yourself, ‘Why is this happening to me?’ consider this: Never make a major decision when you are depressed. Often, when we get discouraged, we are tempted to say, I a m just going to quit’ or ‘I’m going to move’ or ‘I’m going to change jobs’ or ‘I’m going to file for divorce.’ … face the storm head-on and don’t get involved in self-pity. Never give in, never! Be it concerning large things or small things, never, never, never!
To give up is to invite complete defeat. And not only in connection with the matter at hand. Giving up contributes to an ultimate defeat of the personality. It tends to develop a defeat psychology.
Don’t ever give up on something or someone that you can’t go a full day without thinking about.
