Do you really feel shattered when you see your never say die attitude is not helping things at all?
I have seen in my life, even if I take courage and fight again all odds, there are more and more obstacles which seem very diificult to manage and I feel I should give up. Again I gather strength but I am going no where. I am struck at the middle of the things. Do you ever feel like this?
Also the saddedst part is that my hard work is not bringing any result. All things are over-looked.

Yeah, It also happened to me a couple of times. Indeed it's very difficult to move on and keep spirit high. It's not easy when even the last ounce of your strength will be taken and measured. But during those times, the only thing I did is PRAY to God to give me courage and strength enough for my troubles. It's a great help for me. Once there's a friend of mine who always told me that when things went wrong and you don't know what to do, just stop, pray and be still. In that way, you will know what's the best thing to do and you will gain courage to move on.

dear subha...
do you have a close friend who works at the same office with you?
if you do.. have you ever tried asking that friend HONESTLY to point out to you things that you may not doing right - even if you are positive that you doing nothing wrong ??...
we may value our actions differently from others - especially at the workplace..
and as hurtful as it may seem, we need to really ask around to find what could possibly be our mistakes - even if you may not think that you have done any mistakes...

I am the kind of person who doesn't easily surrender. I do not easily surrender because I wouldn't succeed if I will not try to make things work first.
We must have that positive attitude so we will be successful in whatever endeavor.
Have a good day.

I just wrote an article with this aspect of life in mind for my blog. It is concerning intentions for a goal and actions that are taken to achieve it. Sometimes what we want is positive, but how we go about obtaining it or our reasons for obtaining it do not match, so we do not obtain. We need to balance our goals with our reasons so the effort to achieve is also in line. Like earning money, what are you earning the money for? If we decide to earn money to get out of debt, but secretly plan on spending it on "stuff", our intention is in conflict and we become conflicted, feeling like all our efforts are wasted because we still can't afford to buy that "thing".

I just get thoughtful and gloomy at the moment of any set backs in my life.But I easily come out of and try to repair things as soon as possible regardless of the enormity of the situation.I don't believe in sitting and crying over the spilt milk.I strongly believe in that life goes on and no one is irreplaceable.And the main thing is my inherent nature is that I cannot be sad for long.

Actually it is a perception thing. If your never say die attitude takes you a bit further than what would have happened if you had given up, I would still consider it success. Not always we succeed in everything, so this attitude only helps us in maximizing the returns, which still is better than giving up in life.
As they say, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Cheers!

It happen when most of the times as I observe when my plan does not succeed and I am always left in limbo though I persevere the things does not cooperate or life never favor me in return. Like I like to do things for me to be successful but still something is blocking and failures abounds. Though i would like to elude I could not resist and have to face it over and over again. I think patience is the key if you need to be successful you should never stop to try until you achieve it as when the plan start should never stop.

i do agree that sometimes all our hard work seems not to be bringing in any results. But hey, at the end of the day, a single thank you or a smile from someone whom you helped or worked for is enough to remove the stress. although most of the times, this thank you does not come at the most stressful day nor even after the project, but rather days, weeks, or even months after it.
Most of my work has been like this, since i usually like to work behind the scenes and would rather not get the attention for doing something. But of course, we still get tired and still get that feeling of being unappreciated. But once a person whom you have helped personally, like during an outreach or something, when that person comes up to you, smiles and says thank you, everything you have done for that project would be all wiped away.

Sometimes, when meeting some despairing situations, I may feel mixed-up and in a hopeless position.
I just found that I was on the horns of a dilemma. You see, I could not bear to give up easily because I had made great efforts to something, but on the other hand, it was difficult for me to keep it up for it was really hopeless to get some reward at last. It is really a very human dilemma.
For me, perhaps, for the long run, the wiser choice is to give up with determination.

As far as i'm concerned , I have a positive attitude toward life. I enjoy my life so much. Never saying die is not enough to life. We still need to do something to make a positive life. We may go to make some friends,talk with our friends. That's may be a good method to do live a happy life.

Sometimes it can't do anything for us,but complain also does nothing,so what we can do maybe is just trying our best.

subha12,
I appreciate your "never say die attitude" towards hard times in life. If we are still alive, there is "Hope". Sometimes things are getting mess and stuck, it is not a matter whether you have tried hard, it is just a kind of fate. What is important is we do not give up but face the truth in a positive way. Sun will come out as it is always here. We just do not see it when there is a thick cloud in front of our eyes. No matter how thick the cloud is, it will be gone after raining. For sure, another cloud is ready to come, but rain is coming soon, too. So, this is the cycle of life. Though sometimes, the clouds come so frequently and being too thick, making our sky too grey or even dark. However, do remember the sun is alway here, it does not leave us alone.
Cheer up!
Happy Sunday.

I also feel the same. There have been times that I thought I was so strong to handle all those trials and problems that come my way. I was so wrong because it seems that the obstacles are becoming bigger and bigger as the days go by. What was left in me is the hope that someday, when I start something, I can finish it with success. Never say die spirit is good, but will not be enough in most time in reality. I am happy to be part of your never say die discussion. Thank you.

This happens to a lot of people.The is a major luck factor in whatever you do.If it is not in your favour,nothing shall work.There is definitely such a thing called destiny.Whenever something is destined for you only then shall it occur not before how so ever hard you try.Therefore, you have to keep trying for your own satisfaction that you have given your best effort, till you finally succeed or fail on the day you are destined to.
