Never Give Up, Never Let Go

Dragging my sorry body onto the bus bound for INTEC, i slumped onto the chair, intending to do nothing but sleep for the next 15-minutes journey. Then out from the blue, i heard this phrase mentioned in the radio,

"Gagal sekali tidak maksud akan gagal selama-lamanya, kita tidak kalah walaupun berada di bawah, kita gagal sekiranya kita tidak bangkit semula.

Which got my thinking about a phrase," Failure is just Success turned inside out. If you try and fail enough times, you'll eventually succeed"

Failure does not define you, it only gives you opportunity to start over more intelligently


In life, there's no such thing as a bed of roses. Things sometimes do not go the way we want, even if it's in the best circumstances. Sooner of later in part of life, we face trials, predicaments and tribulations that will haunt us and seems to be shadowing our lives everyday. One day, life may seem to be not worth the living. One day, life may seem to be bent on causing you misery and sufferings. One day, you'll feel as if all hope and happiness no longer exist in your life. And then, you have a decision to make....and there's only two choices...

FIGHT or DIE

Winston Churchill failed sixth grade. He was subsequently defeated in every election for public office until he became Prime Minister at the age of 62. He later wrote, “Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never, Never, Never, Never give up"

Never, ever give up

Thomas Edison’s teachers said he was “too stupid to learn anything.” He was fired from his first two jobs for being “non-productive.” As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, “How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?” Edison replied, “I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.”

I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps

When things gets tougher and tougher, you go on. When all your friends desert you and love seems to fail you, you GO on. When it seems as if God's hand is intended on your demise, YOU GO ON ! You try one time and fail, there's always a second time; you try two times and fail, there's always the third time; you try the third time, you fail, there's always another fourth time waiting for your attempt. You try NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY TIME and you fail, there's always the thousandth time for you ! Never give up, never let go... You try you fail, you try you fail, but the true failure is when you stop trying...

“Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune;
but great minds rise above them.” -Washington Irving

So, remember now matter how hard things get, never give up, never let go. Success is not Permanent. Failure is not Final. Never Stop Working after Success. Never Stop Trying after Failure.

If you want to enjoy the rainbow, you have to endure the rain.
