Never Give Up!

There are many reasons why I strongly advocate for people to never give up. Not only will it not fix your problems, bit it will cause you to end up in an endless pit of despair, regret, and questioning "why me". In the midst of your pouting, you will not win if you sit on a chair and wish you would have done xyz, but haven't and never did. You can't change the past. One may only wish "if only there was a time machine or magic remote". That will unfortunately probably never happen because the alteration of time is a figment of your imagination. While advocating never giving up, I still need to take my own advice in the face of pain, rejection, and the occasional "I feel like I'm not going to make it anywhere/I suck at everything". While you may have those feelings of doubt, uncertainty, and a loss of the will to continue fighting, no matter what, there is always a little ounce of will in you, no matter how many times you are thrown off the horse. It is never too late to do something you haven't done before. If you take advantage of every opportunity, more doors will open. You do need to choose wisely if too many are coming your way. If a door is slammed in your face, another door will open right next to you. Don't let your emotions get the best of you. You will not win. People give all the cliche advice to you all the time, which is the standard of how to conduct your life. No matter what skills you have or do not have, you have to market yourself with what you do have and not dwell on what you're missing. We are human and cannot and will not possess every possible skill set one may need. In the midst of disappointment, all you can do is bang your fists in frustration, maybe cry, and scream across a seemingly empty lab. After that, you have to get back on the horse and keep chugging along. The horse won't leave unless you forcefully make it leave. Success is inevitable if you keep trying. Success will leave you if you do not try. Let the fire keep burning and you will go far. It will not extinguish unless you extinguish it. If you live by the quote, "Nothing is difficult. Everything's a challenge through adversity to the stars until the last day we fight", you will surely be a success in life!
