Don't You Ever Give Up

We accept a refrigerator allurement at home that says, "Just if the caterpillar anticipation the apple was over, it became a butterfly. -- Proverb." For all of us, there are canicule if we feel like giving up. We feel like giving up on dreams, relationships, ourselves, whatever it may be. I anticipate that's accustomed and that's just life. But it's aswell a annihilative affectionate of cerebration and feeling. My friend, you just can't do that. Giving up solves actually annihilation except authoritative you feel worse than you already feel. And -- this is important -- you just never apperceive what's about the corner. By giving up, you alone ensure yourself defeat and never absolutely apperceive what could accept been. I wish to yield this befalling to allotment with you belief of association who didn't accord up. You apperceive a lot of of these humans -- but you apparently don't apperceive their akin of anguish at times and you apparently don't apperceive what they went through to ability the akin of success they achieved. Before he became President, Abraham Lincoln suffered a lot of defeat.

And it can't be for any of us, either. I accept faced abounding failures and defeats in my own life. And I will face more. That's just activity I've learned. But I will not accord up. I can't.

Work harder against it every day and never accord up. If you anticipate about it, it's the alone absolute best you have. Anything abroad is absolutely apparent old nonsense.
