NEVER GIVE UP !

                              One day a Man in his 30's got fed up and decided to quit...."I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality, In fact I want to quit my life"... He said. Then He went to the woods to have one last talk with God. "God! Can you give me just one ... good reason not to quit?" He said. But God's answer surprised him... "Look around", God said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?" "Yes", The Man replied. Then God continued..."When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds at the same time, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit! In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit! Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant. But just six months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots but six months to shoot to the Sky! Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed not just to SURVIVE but to be SIGNIFICANT amidst its peers. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle because I love them too well!" God said to Him... "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots." "I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don't compare yourself to others." "The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet, they both make the forest beautiful." Your time will come and you will rise high! "..God said. "How high should I rise?" The Man asked. "How high will the bamboo rise?" God asked in return. "As high as it can? The Man replied. "Yes!" God said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can!

How To Never Give Up

Let’s go through each step together.

1. Stay alive. 

As long as you are alive, anything is still possible.

2. Lower your expectations.

Most successes are not overnight successes. You can work for it. But you can’t expect it. Lower your expectations.

3. Remember that you are stronger than you think.

At times, you might privately think to yourself that you can’t handle the pressure. You have to persist. And just doing the same thing is not enough. You must try different things before you learn what works. Let’s say of the 99 things you have tried, nothing works well. Will you try the 100th thing? If you think about it, the 99 failures have almost no bearing on the success of the following one, as long as you trying different things.

4. Fake it. Other people will do the same. They will never give up, why would you?

Fake success. Everyone does. You should as well. Don’t lie, but act as if you already succeeded. It makes a difference.

5. Don’t compare yourself to people who already succeeded.

Never give up if someone is doing great. You never know how he is really doing.  Even if you think you know, you don’t.

After you have done all of this, you will fall into the dip. Most people who look at this info-graphic think that they are stuck in the dip. The trick is that if you are stuck, you have to keep moving. And sometimes that means going back to square one. If nothing else, never give up because you only might have one last thing to overcome.

Now stand up and say to yourself as loud as you can, “Never give up! Never Give up! Never Give up!”
