Never Give Up On It

There is a story of a man who was digging deep for gold on a particular field. This man was so optimistic to get gold and he tried so hard to get it. He kept on digging and searching with his optimism getting reduced. Each day he went to the field with his crew without getting what they needed,
he lost his optimism. He got tired eventually and he sold the field to a company.

The company came with a fervent optimism as well, picked up where the man gave up, they dug, kept on digging and Boom!, they hit the raw magnificent shining gold just three feet away from where they picked up. Alas!, the man would have been a multibillionaire if he had kept his hopes alive and never gave up.


This story paints a picture of how a lot of people in our world today do not have things to hold on to. Most businesses drop out of the market because they aren't ready to reinvent themselves to meet the market standard and Yes, they give up. Marriages are getting crashed more and more because partners aren't ready to make things work and yes, they give up. Students do not feel any optimism on the inside and they give up on the dream to be a good student. Many projects couldn't get accomplished because owners give up on gold.
If only majority know that they are few inches away from their respective breakthrough, they will strive to persist more and more. Thomas Edison after "thousands" of attempts coupled with failure eventually made a light bulb. What if he had given up despite the trying times? There might not be light bulbs in our communities.

Never Give Up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine - Jack Ma 

I wouldn't deny the fact that it is never easy trying so hard to get something that is hard to get. It is relatively hard to persist despite many failures but whenever there is a urge to quit, the reasons why you started in the first place fuel your hopes up. If the reasons are rock solid, persist more because the gold is three feet away. Faith it, persist more and you will hit that breakthrough soonest.


ACTION POINT: 

• List things you are doing at the moment and you are ready to give up on.
• State the reason(s) why you initiated each of them.
• Analyse the reason(s)
• Check the motives of the reasons
• Are the reason(s) strong enough to keep you going?

If you can act on the above points, do not back down rather, keep striving to get what you desire. Remember, that thing must be able to have a clear impact on your life. It must be something that gives your life a sense of meaning and fulfilment.
