Do you give up easily?

Hoorah! At last I've figured out how to fix my brother in law's laptop. It was rather low-end and it took me all night until the wee hours of morning to fix it. I knew there was something wrong with the hardware but I just couldn't pinpoint what it was. Then I turned it over and took out all the pieces I could and eventually found what was wrong. Whew, talk about not giving up. I really have the knack for working from start to finish and I can't rest until I get the job done. I hate thinking of unfinished business.
How about you, do you give up on something easily or do you also work hard and never stop until you're done?

I am amazed you haven't got more responses to this discussion, because I am sure most of us have given up at some things in our lives, I guess it all depends on the situation as to whether something is worth continuing with, it's like relationships I guess, some relationships are worth saving, others are not, hence you give up on them because life is too short. I easily get frustrated and impatient which are my weaknesses and I do give up easily and won't persist, I guess it's easy to give up isn't it, it makes a strong person to continue where others will give up. Even if you face certain failure to continue is a show of strength and determination and the rewards are much greater for not giving in and eventually succeeding, providing you have of course got the patience and inclination to continue.

My dad it`s just like you . He even can`t eat untill he isn`t finishing what he was begining . But i`m not like that . I will treat the problem with calm , even if it`s a big one, i`ll go eating if it`s the time , but i`m not giving up so easy . It`s hard to make me give up to an idea, to a project .. But i`m ambitious, and that helps me a lot, and that part with the calm too , because if i`m getting mad, i will not find a way out to solve that problem , if i will not calm down for a wile .

Thanks a lot for your comment. Looks like we all have things in common specially with working hard, where the only difference is you could take a break. Heh heh. Well sometimes I do too, it's just that most of the time, I really get so hung up with the work I do that I forget everything. And that's also a really good quality you got there, being calm and composing yourself. It's definitely better to have a clear mind for you to accomplish a certain task efficiently and effectively.
