If not giving up was always the right answer life would be so easy. History shows us that sometimes quitters prosper and sometimes they miss out.

I do not believe in giving up. I think that if you really believe in something you can never give up on it. Yes, there will be times when you realize that something is not your passion so you move on, but I do not believe that is giving up.
