I hate giving up giving up is quitting I also hate failure but there’s dignity in failure at least you tried theres no dignity in giving up thats a coward’s choice sometimes however I think there must be a time when it is appropriate or even wise just to pack it in a time when there is a dignity in ceasing to slam that square peg into that damned round hole when it’s ok to say I may never succeed at this task so it’s time to move on to the next one and see if that goes any better for me Indeed failure is monumental but it’s final when you fail at something that’s it youve failed your trials come to a finite conclusion from which you cannot be redeemed you saw a task out to completion and you can go no further and because you didn’t give up you will never be left wondering what if I’d have stuck with it the one thing you give up by allowing failure to take its toll is control and that’s where giving up becomes tempting when you give up you’ve called the shots youve decided for yourself regardless of the situation no this isn’t going to work for me after all failure is somewhat fateful you give a task all you have and then leave the rest to the universe to decide failure often can be something that is out of your hands but maybe that’s where the appeal of failing lies you have a worthy scapegoat when you fail you can say well I gave it everything I had but it didn’t work out It’s not my fault whereas giving up is most definitely your fault giving up is a conscious decision to fail on your part rather than an unstoppable failure by default so when is it right to give up It seems when failure is imminent giving up is something of a preemptive strike conceding to an inevitable end but what about when you’re wrong what about when you think you might fail but that failure isn’t yet written in the stars Isn’t in that case giving up just a lazy way to not work harder to win what about all your insecurities what about your misconceptions about your capabilities your skewed perception of different situations and those surrounding you Is it not better to fight until the bitter end to cut out the variable of your own poor judgement and let failure beat you instead of beating yourself Isn’t it more noble to go down fighting than to withdraw your hand in fear failure it seems is for the brave while giving up is for the scared what I’m saying is there might not be such thing as the right time to give up like some journey bullshit don’t stop believing If you care about something the best way to approach it is to go down in flames trying to succeed at it
