Second thought on quitting

We hear all the times that ‘Winners never quit’. They run, fall, wake up and run again but never stop. They are ready to fail hundred times but are never willing to quit. And eventually, the person will achieve the dream. So, never stop, keep moving. But does it really? Life doesn’t work that way. Sometimes life will hit you hard, so hard that you cannot wake up. Will all the risk that you take for the success that you dreamed of is worth all the pain? I don’t say, it is better to quit. But re-thinking is a crucial element. What is the worth, if you jump into the river again and again but you don’t know how to swim or if the flood is very big and it is constantly pushing you back in the riverbank? Re-trying might get drowned ! I have realized that it is important to understand the real value of work that you are doing and its importance to you.

The lesson that I learned during my 27 years of journey. 1. There is absolutely no substitute for integrity, perseverance and hard work. Both happiness and success mostly depend upon these three key elements. Therefore, it is essential to 'break the comfort' and train oneself every time to be honest, determined and absorbed. 2.
