Should You Just Give Up?
Here is a good post from Enigin PLC about not giving in which I found to my liking: http://www.eniginscampaign.com/2010/07/01/the-persistance-of-an-enigin-family-member/ Not giving in can get you in to BIG trouble, of course – both emotionally and financially speaking. But then again, giving in can leave you feeling dissatisfied…that if only you had tried that bit harder you might just have been able to accomplish what you set out to do… Naturally, everyone has their own limit of when they should give up. Some people are more easily knocked down by others, while others will never ever stop trying to achieve something for as long as they live. And there in lies the problem: you could spend your entire life trying to achieve something and then never succeed. Does that mean that you have failed miserably and should have known to stop a lot earlier? That everything you did up until then counted only as a waste? Well, no, not if you ask me. You gave it your best shot didn’t you? Which means that you have learned something along the way, even if it was only that you are an extremely stubborn person who has things they need to work on… Some people cope better with rejection than others. While some can accept failure and move on to a new challenge relatively quickly, others can not. It hurts them to just give up. And I think there is something to be learned from both groups of people and everyone in between, after all variety is what makes the world go round and if everyone never gave up / just gave up when things got difficult, probably nothing of any good would have ever been achieved.
