One of our major problems in life is that we give up too soon. When things don’t go as we plan on the first try a lot of us just assume either that it wasn’t meant to be or it just won’t work for us even if it works for other people. Quite a big bit of this is because of social programming and the expectations set by society. It’s seen as pretty normal to try once or maybe a few times and then give up.
When you keep trying the same thing over and over again and it doesn’t work, people automatically assume you are on the verge of madness. Living in a world where a quick fix is the norm, we are unknowingly programmed to expect things to work immediately we set out to do them.Perhaps if we don’t give up so easily on those things we want to do, new innovations, ideas and inventions will be birthed and the world would be better for it. 
The truth many of us do not realise is that we don’t actually fail till we totally give up trying. So what is it you have set your heart on to do? Give it your best short the first time, then if it doesn’t work keep at it till you figure out the solution. You might never know exactly how close you are to hitting jackpot when you give up . ‘Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.’ – Thomas Edison
