Throw in the towel

There are times when giving up is truly the best answer. The term “throw in the towel” was coined to alert everyone involved that the time has come to simply give up and stop whatever you are doing. Most of us who are familiar with the term learned it from boxing. If the boxer was hurt badly or it looked like he was never going to win and may be hurt permantley or die from injuries, his trainer or support could throw in a towel and the fight would end. 

There have been times when the towel was thrown in and the fighter was angry.

  1. I loved your post! However I don’t think that someone else should take decisions that you are suppose to think! Your own brain chooses to react how it think it’s best at that very moment! If one could only control his mind and thoughts everything could be solved! Moreover, sometimes the best things follow after throwing the towel! 🙂

  2. Persistence in fighting back, against tsunami of attacks all around to destroy me to trample me down to dirt, is my strength and empowerment. As long as the truth is on my side, my towel remains on my back til it hurts. 🙂

  3. Not really bad to throw towel at someone else but hope that there is an ample time for this person as well and somehow support the person.

    but that for the boxer and boxing match never thought that they can do that.
