I would like to have each of your's opinions on this subject, because it is something which i have gone through many times, and I'm sure you would also be familiar with a similar situation.
How do you feel when you fail to achieve something which you had planned for, as a short term goal? What do you do when you face failure right on? Don't you feel like quitting everything? Doesn't it make you question your decision to chose the direction that you have chosen for yourself in life?
I have been through a similar situation many times. I am an engineering student, and many a times i have felt like quitting everything and starting all over again, but when i give it a good thought, weight the pros and cons of the situation, and think positively and optimistically, i continue with a positive outlook and renewed energy, but it is not always easy.
I guess this is something which every one of us goes through at some point of his or her life. What do you do when you face a similar situation?

It is true that everyone of us have similiar experience,we may have met failure for many times ,and there're much more are waiting for us both in the near future and the rest of our life.
Failure sounds like an obstacle,which seems to stop us from making progress.But can not failure bring us something esle expect depressing? At least it can give us some lessons and experience,which are much more precious than failures themselves.
If we fail in doing something ,there is someting more waiting for us to do .Only if we do more work can we reduce the possibility of failing next time .
Even failures always go in their way ,we should not feel desperate because of them .What we only need to do is to think positively and make full us our boundless imagination and intelligence to face this beautiful world with more courage and a more brave heart.
So, my dear friend ,I hope you can always feel you are filled up with hope ,and if you do ,I'm sure you will success one day ,after countless times of failures.

I just keep on keeping on. My theory on life is that I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If one idea doesn't work, I try another. For some reason though I do have alot of energy. I don't know why but sometimes people say it makes them tired just listening to me and all the things I do. And if you quit, well what do you gain?

have been in many similiar situations. I have to admit I have done both. I have gven up in the face of failure and other times I persevered. Just think if everyone gave up in their own failures where would we all be? Electricity? Heat? our health? Basc things we often take for granted. If a medical researcher searchng for a clue to a disease gave up every time an attempt failed, what does that do for the rest of us? Sometmes it is best to qut and learn from your failures. And other times, you keep on pushing on. Such is life.
