My father once told my mom how stubborn and hard headed I am. And yes that might be true. When I believe in something I never give up that easily. When I want something, I do my best to get it. It's only when I it is clear enough that can't have something that I decide to give up. Even in love I do the same. I don't easily give up once I know that love is still there. I just can't do that. I always try to find a solution because I hate having a heartache. Well who lives heartache anyway. There's only one thing that can make me give up and that is when I am being cheated. I don't like that at all.

Love is love,its like what water tastes,you can't explain it.If You think you are in love, go ahead and try your best to achieve it.When in love,Never say never,never give up.If you aren't being cheated by him/her,you got a chance.Go ahead ,achieve love,if you give up you'll never be able 2 4give urself. Loves is something that never comes twice.

i am with you, don't give up easily, if you think somthing worth waiting and struggling, just do it, you will get a good return finally, even if you don't, at least you will not be regretted.

You are like me...you have a dogged determination, and that can be a good thing, actually. For me I dont' like to give up until the last route has been exhausted. But I also know my limitations, when I *KNOW* that I can't do something then I move on to something else. But if I am making headway at something then I'll keep plugging along. It really is a good trait to have :-)

You are very persistent, I give up only when I don't want something. I can wait even 7 years to get what I want but you know if it's about a person now I think that if it's too hard it's because it's a sign and the person is not for you, now getting things like a goal, a dream I think we should fight.

We will know when to give up and when not to, right? At the young age, I have experienced how to be broken and I know what life really is. I accepted it! I usually don't give up.. I really don't, except when the one that loves and believe me stop on supporting me, stop on loving me! That's what I'm really afraid of.. Because if it will happen, I know.. I can give up everything in a blink of an eye! But still, I'm lucky that I have them and I still have their love and support.. So that's one reason I can't give up easily!

HI! First of all, with all your "never give up" saying is a good thing because it really helps you on how to move on and can boost your morale/confidence. Regarding the person who cheated you, make sure first if he/she really is cheating on you so that you won't have any problems and there will be no "ifs". If it is really true then give him up! It is his/her loss not yours.

I am with you on this, I feel that unless it was a cheating factor I too do not just give up. I have often seen many try and drive me to my limits and the first thing that comes to mind is that I will not go because others want me to go, I will go when I feel I myself had enough. I too in a sense am very hard headed, simply because I enjoy challenging myself. I have to be completely satisfied or unsatisfied before I call it a day with any decisions really. There is no harm in continually trying if at the end of the day I am happy with my own decisions and me.

To answer the question, you should never give up. That being said there are times ans situations that you have to give up. One example will be if you love someone and you told this person how you feel. If the person told you that he or she do not feel the same and will never feel different then I think that's the time that you should give up. You don't have to embarrass yourself. You can't force someone to love you. The worst thing that could happen is he will love you out of pity. I think there is a fine line between being stubborn and just being motivated. As long as you feel that you are not hurting anyone and you're efforts are not in vain then I think you should go for it.

Hehe,your sturdy character can make you defeat everything in front of you unless you have been defeated.but before your parents you can do some giving in to avoid them becoming angry.
