NEVER QUIT, DON'T GIVE UP
In life we fail, sometimes once, sometimes twice, sometimes thrice and sometimes every time. So we decide to quit, because we did our best but it was not good enough. Sometimes too we succeed and then out of no where we make a little mistake and it makes us feel like we have failed totally.
Oftentimes people look at our size, our height, our color, our country, our past and tell us we cannot achieve anything great.
Sometimes we believe them, other times we think they are right. So we quit and give up and we hide ourselves from the world and from the people who look up to us.
We hide our dreams, we hide our passion, we hide our talent, we hide our skill, we hide our ideas. We coil and retire to being quiet and to stay out of trouble.
But everyday we look at ourselves in the mirror and we hear the still small voice telling us, never give up and don't quit but we ignore it.
We begin to resort to all avenues and mediums to help us feel okay.
Sometimes we begin to calm ourselves with alcohol, and many more because we know we are hurting deep inside and we just don't believe there is anything good still left in us. But today I want to change your mindset of failure and giving up.
When we fail it means
F - First
A - Attempt
I - In
L- Life
And like everyone when we were learning to walk as children we fell many times but we kept trying until we could walk.
After we could walk now we can run, but before we had to fall to learn not to fall.
So in life, we fail to learn how not to fail. We don't quit to learn how to succeed.
Thomas Edison, the guy who invented the electric bulb tried and failed 10 000 times before he finally made it. Today I want to tell you too not to quit or give up because you have failed in the past.
Life has its challenges, great obstacles and hurdles, but you can overcome them. Raised by a single mother when my dad passed away after a 24hr illness life was never the same. I was only 6 years old and in my first year of primary. My eldest brother was 15 and the second 13. Like a diamond i went through many pressures and cuts but i held on to one concept. Never give up.
Just don't give up.~ Solomon Botchway
