The expression “Never, never give up” means to keep trying and never stop working #1 (permalink) Fri Jun 18, 2010 11:42 am   The expression “Never, never give up” means to keep trying and never stop working
 

The expression “Never, never give up” means to keep trying and
never stop working for your goals. Do you agree or disagree with this
statement? Use specific reasons and examples to support your
answer.

The expression „Never, never give up“ can be heard in many occasions. While many people do utmost efforts to achieve their objectives, others tend to give up things easily. In my opinion, people should fight for the betterment of their lives but should understand their personal limits.

In this essay, I will discuss about the effects and implications of the above saying and behavior.

First, the aforementioned sentence can have a very positive effect on our lives. Not giving up things easily not only teaches us to work harder to achieve our desires but also help us in understanding our strengths and weaknesses. A chief example would be an athlete whose desire is to be one of the best players on the field. In order to bring out he best performance from himself he practices day and night, challenging his limits. By not giving up and by challenging himself he will understand his strengths and weaknesses. He might learn that his focus is not as excellent as it should be or might realize that he need to run faster to reach the finish line earlier than others. The attitude of not giving up helps him to always improve himself in a certain way.

Second, as I have mentioned in the previous sentence, the attitude toward a job or a task, or even toward life, can determine the final result. If someone starts up a task with a negative attitude, saying that he in not talented or he cannot really do it, most probably this non-adequate behavior ultimately determines the end result. However, if someone is not an expert in a certain task, but he goes into a task with a never giving up attitude, providing himself optimism, courage and confidence, most probably he will win over the difficulties and finally succeed in his endeavor.

Nevertheless, going too far in certain action can cause unintended problems. Although challenging our limits can contribute toward positive end results, we should understand and accept our limits. Stubbornly trying to achieve something that is very unrealistic, of course taking into consideration my abilities, does not lead to a happy life. For example, many people try to achieve something that is out of their abilities and their failures of achieving the desired result cause them unpleasant feelings, leading to depression. Therefore, in my opinion, people should aim for realistic goals and goals that can be achieved step by step.

In short, the saying of not giving up can give lot of encouragement for people in their life. The never giving up attitude can eventually determine whether we will success or fail.

Good work Kaldosi. Always take extra care with your closing sentence/paragraph.
Perfect essays are often ruined by stupid errors in the closing.
You are doing great work nowadays. We are proud of you.
