Hi all, it's my blogging time again!

Nothing much to talk about (I mean, who actually bothers about the boring, mundane life of a 17 year old student). Just want to say that the monstrous amount workload is piling up again on my side and I am determined to write about an inspiration I got before hiding behind the stacks of papers again. =X

So, my inspiration.. "Give up".

I guess everyone of you out there should at least have some basic comprehension of what giving up means. Well, for me, I interpret the words "give up" as quitting, conceding and losing.

Giving up is quitting. When you are in the process of completing a task and you just gave up halfway, it is quitting. "Never say no!" A quote from The Game Plan, fully illustrates my point. Even during bad times and when you are strained both mentally and physically, never say no to yourself. Keep on trying, persevere on and don't become a quitter.

Giving up is conceding defeat. This means that by giving up, you admit that you are a loser. Think about it, there are so many things others can achieve. What makes you think that you are at a disadvantage when compared to them? Why do you feel that you are not able to do whatever they have done, and perhaps, even excel beyond their standard? I know that a lot of people out there have their own dreams. But many gave it up when they reach their teens as they lose confidence in themselves and thought that they couldn't fulfill their dream. My question to them is, "How do you know the outcome even before trying your very best?"

Giving up is losing. Giving up is equivalent to losing an opportunity to prove yourself and make your mark in whichever fields you are interested in. And as I have mentioned in my previous posts, opporunities don't come by very often. One has to seize it when he/she sees it. So imagine yourself losing a big diamond moments after placing it in your palms. Isn't it pure stupidity?

Never give up. I know that you are facing a rough patch now. But nevertheless, I want you to know that I will always be behind you, as a friend, giving you all the help and assistance that you may require. There is nothing to be shy about. Stay cheerful, keep going, hang in there and before you know it, everything will be over in a blink of an eye. Keep holding on. =)
