NEVER!!!!!! It is not okay to give up ever!!
it is never okay to give up. if u make a commitment then you should stick with it to the end. no matter what happens. if you ever give up you better have an amazing excuse for why you did it. i definitely agree wit tb3.
It is certainly okay to give up. If you know that something you are doing will not amount so something, why continue?
I gave up doing baton and gymnastics because I used to get picked on by a girl that did not like me. [that was in 3rd grade hehe] I had a perfectly good reason to give it up, and the money that had been spent on that could be put towards something I would actually enjoy.
Yes, you made a commitment, but if you are not enjoying yourself - are you helping the "team" anyway? A person who is not happy with their choices will not thrive in the choice they made. If one has a crummy job that hides their potential and brings them down, why should they have to stick with it?
Giving up something just might lead to finding something one is good at, and something they actually enjoy doing. If you are unhappy with something, you should fix it...and giving up is sometimes the only option.
Okay...i do not think it is ever okay to give up, but quitting might be possible. No, I am just kidding! People should stick to what they are doing.
Yes, like emilybemily said, sometimes there are projects or sports that after a while are not enjoyable anymore. I think that if you try something and then figure out it was not what you thought it would be and that is why you stop, it is not considered quitting. Why would you want to waste time doing something you do not enjoy?
Quitting is when people do not try or do not want to try and they just take the easy way out! Sometimes people think if they stay with the activity they are not fond of, it will always end up bad. Maybe they just need to go a few more times and they will end up liking it :)
I'm going to have to agree with tb3 and *tofinkie*. if you've made a commitment to someone or something then thats your responsibility. finsh what you started and if you really dislike something like a sports team or boton or gymnastics dont sign up the pollowing year then you wont let people down because you didnt start another year. like right now i'm in 3 different very time consuming activities that have me running monday through saturday sunday being my only day "off". I've wanted to give up on one of them so many times but then i thought... even though i'm not the best at all of them i dont want to be known as the person who gave up on the team/ group/ class. so giving up is jsut saying you don't believe in yourself.
YEAA it is okay to give up on something. why continue if you know you cant reach your goal or dont enjoy it? you could be spending you time on more useful things. it okayy!!!!! do something you wanna do and stick to it but if it gets boring after a while give it up cuz you'll just get more fustrated with it cuz you dont wanna do it!
yesssssssssss it is ok to give up sometimes!!!!!!!!!!! but not all the time if something is to hard or time consuming or dangerous or does not intrest you or does not get you any closer to a goal then why wast your time on something you just do not want to do.
So people that give up smoking and doing drugs and drinking do not believe in themselves? Not exactly what you, wozlow, were talking about, but I just managed to twist it and make it sound bad. XP
Giving up something does not ALWAYS mean that you do not believe in yourself. Most people probably do not even think of that when they quit something. They just want out of something they do not enjoy.
You know, it takes guts to give up something. There will always be those stupid people calling you a quitter behind your back, but you have to believe in yourself and wipe their comments off. Giving up something does not show you do not believe in yourself, it shows you have more guts than anyone else.
ya dont give up... not good. losers only truly lose the fight when they give up
It is mature to stick with what you signed up with...but who wants to be mature all the time?
i think giving up is a bad thing because if you give up at something you will give up everything else you started and you will never try anything again. NEVER GIVE UP!!!!! stay a strong person!!!!!
