We've all heard of cliche phrases. There's that Nike phrase "Just Do It," there's also that Bob Marley song "Don't Worry, Be Happy," and the two most overused words for people aspiring to be successful and that is "Work Hard." Although there's one ubiquitous phrase that became my favorite the moment I've heard of it, and that phrase is "Never Give Up."
Most people like this phrase. It shows perseverance against all odds, inhuman resilience. It shows a person willing to go through hundreds or even thousands of failures and rejections just to taste their big success.
There are countless stories on the internet like these. From ultra famous names to regular everyday people. From Steve Jobs to Sylvester Stallone to Colonel Sanders of KFC. They went through a number of failures or rejections to get where they are today.
Before you get inspired to persist at whatever that you are doing or working on right now, there is one big caveat that many people don't realize about this: This is not applicable to everybody.
What if your current job is not something that you like or actually hate? What if you don't even give a damn on the current project you're working on? What if somebody else told you to start that hobby that you're not even the least bit interested in? What if the person you're dating is not the right one for you?
These are just some of the exceptions to this famous phrase. There are some things in life that if you give up on, then your life will actually become better. After you give up on certain things, you might try a new thing and little that you know that this new thing will be much better for you than that thing you gave up on.
Don't get me wrong, you shouldn't give up on something that you truly care about, but if this something does not bring you joy or happiness anymore, then, by all means, give up on it and make room for something far better.
