One day while I was on my way to work on the radio, I heard:
“No matter how many mistakes you made or how slowly you move forward, you are still all your head taller than one who would not try.”
Such are the right words that I think they need to be remembered and reminded of anyone who leans their heads and decides to surrender.
In small steps, we can overcome the longest paths, climb the highest mountains, and touch the soft blankets of the sky with our fingertips. In small steps, we can catch the dream, hold it in the palm of our hand, and believe that it will not break through the tiny space between our fingers. One, even the smallest step forward, is the start of the journey.
A journey that can be happy. Will be.

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn
I gave up on my website and let it die. I have regretted that decision I took in haste but then I have grown by learning from my mistakes. I usually never quit.
I’ve always given up on relationships, and ended up not having a partner.
There have been many times I came very close to giving up on life.
I am glad you did not give up.
This is very inspiring! However, sometimes winning is knowing when to give up. It’s hard to know whether it’s worth it to try one more time or it’s the right moment to focus on something else.
That’s a very good point. If something doesn’t work, the temptation is often to keep trying the same thing, whereas looking afresh at the problem and doing something different might have been a better plan.
I must agree. If you come to full failure and do not see a light in the tunnel, it is better to give up and go for another idea. But if you still see ways to make it work, then you can try again.
