Time to Give Up?

'Never give up'. A very popular phrase which is commonly used or heard among our society today and even centuries ago. Those three simple words definitely ring a much prominent meaning. In this modernized world, people tend to live by the motto 'never give up' to strive for success and survival in workplace, school and many more.  Yes, you should never give up, be strong and chase for your dreams no matter what. However, life has its ups and downs and sometimes, it might not always go the way you wished. Sometimes, you just tend to reach your breaking point, be so exhausted and frustrated and giving up is the only way to go.

 No, I'm absolutely not encouraging my readers to easily give up whenever failed to overcome any small obstacle in life. My main intention for writing this is to share my point of view which is it's actually okay to give up sometimes. Giving up doesn't simply mean you're weak and fearful but in certain cases, more matured and forgiving as a human. Do not simply change your mindset in order to please the society. Let's just say, I'll consider myself a very determined person all this while and giving up was clearly not an option. Despite this, I've learnt occasionally, we have no choice but to give up as our last resort.

Why do I say so? In my past experiences, I was indeed fierce fighter and yearned to do well for almost everything such as in school or my personal affairs. Unfortunately, it did me no good at all. I was dwelling on the past wishing I could turn back the clock and put things right in order simply because I was not ready to give up. Slowly and gradually, a great amount of anger and hatred slowing swallowing me from the inside. Destroying every ounce of energy and hope left in me For a being a stubborn person I always was, it took me great perseverance and time to finally understand certain matters and to give up completely.

In conclusion, I'm still profoundly passionate and determined person, the fighting spirit never left me not even a single bit. Bottom line is it's alright to give up but of course, only do so as your last resort. So, maybe, just maybe, it's time to give up?
