Word of the Week #196:
Why do people quit?
Is it a symptom of wisdom, or of weakness?
It is not easy to tell, is it?
One of the most difficult things in life is knowing when to quit. After all, we can never truly know if we have tried our very best, right? At least I never do.
I will never accept that I couldn’t have done something better or something different. I do have a very high opinion of my own abilities, after all. And yet, doing something better or something different does not guarantee a desirable outcome.
So, how do I make sure I don’t get stuck in a worthless endeavour?
Well, more often than not, I really don’t.
I just keep scraping for what I want at that moment, and things generally seem to work out well, in the end.
How does that ad go? Maybe I’m born with it… Maybe it’s make-believe… Something to that effect, I’m sure.
Who can know for sure, right?
All I do know is what I want, and that is often enough.
