I always searched be a pesseverante person, I never gave up what I believe in, I always fought for my dreams. However, when I look around me I see people giving up their lives, their dreams, they`re being taken for their problems. What`s wrong with people? Why are they giving up the fight?

There are two kinds of people in the world. There are the ones who in face of troubles stand up and fight. There are others seek an escape. Some see troubles as challenges. Some see them as problems. Much depends on the kind of attitude one develops in building up mental fortitude while growing up. Some religions teach you to seek escape from sufferings; and some tell you that sufferings prepare you for a spiritual after life.

There are alot of people that give up as they think that they will not be able to achive what they want.I am a person that is not going to give up on what ever i set my mind to.I think that if there is something you want badly,then you will do all that you are able to,to get what you want.

I think that sometimes people just feel like life is not going anywhere for them, always having bad luck, always being let down or getting hurt, nothing ever going right for them. It can be very stressful for some people, and a lot to take. There have been times in my life where I just think what's the point. I am actually waiting for our luck to change, as we have had some real bad luck over the last 3 months. Perhaps we are all guilty of being selfish and expecting too much of our lives, but we have to learn to try and carry on.

Mainly peer pressure...and prevous failures. You know what it's like when you really want something and your friends put you down for it and don't believe in you. And failure makes it even harder.
