Try and try until you succeed. That is my motto and it has never proven me wrong! I just can't stand to give up and let anything get the best of me, I will keep at it until I beat it! One will never know just what they could have been, done, or accomplishied if they throw in the towel and quit!

I am a firm believer that a person should not give up after the first time doing something. Some people can get things on the first time around and then others like myself have to try a few times. I keep trying till I get it done and if I have to ask for help I will.

I usually will not give up after only one try, depending on what it is that I am going after. I am a determined soul who likes reaching her goals, so if I think that I have any chance at all of achieving something, I will go for it until I lose all hope that it is ever going to work out. On the other hand, I am also the type to start a project with fire and passion and peter out before I get done at times, but that is not me giving up because of something not working out right. Believe me, if I want something that badly, I will try to go after it until I do not see any reason to try anymore! *laugH*

Well, I will give it more than one try, but I am also well aware of own my limitations, so I will not try forever to do something that I KNOW will not be successful! For instance, I am the world's least practical person,- anything that involves using my hands in a practical way (sewing/dressmaking,flower arranging for example), I just know I cannot do. So why waste time trying? However, I know I am pretty good at learnng languages, so if I decided to learn Swedish or Danish or something for exmple, I will keep on trying through the difficult parts, until I have succeeded!

I'm a last minute person, from my study age until i working now. I believe if we put right effort then we will get the success as what we aim for. I always told myself, if i fail, i'm not putting enough effort yet to it. So it motivate me even more. Try and try even we always fail is a good word for motivate even ourself. Sometime it's very powerful word to me, and sometime it's not. We're human, when fail come so many time, we will think, now it's the time for us to give up or "don't you know give up is" it's something like that. It depends on my situation.

Its a saying that motivates any person. Its a possitive approach to life. But the only thing is that we should always try for something that is acheivable.
So even if we fail one or two times...This words will help people to move forward...without any mental streess.
Its hopes that trive us forward. The hope that we will succeed one day or acheive it one day...
What is life without dreams.

Depends on what I'm fighting for, and whether the fight is worth it and what I stand to lose or give up for repeatedly trying! For me it's finding a job working with children, I've had so many knockbacks, I've got the qualifications, I've got the glowing references but because I'm a man no one wants to know! I have to live, I need work and if I continue to try and get a job that I would love to do then I can't live. I have to give up and do something else to pay the bills! If I didn't worry about money then I would persist, but something you just can't persist with!

I never let anything get the better of me. I will keep trying until I get it right or die in my attempts. I never lose hope, and if I can't succeed, then I will get somebody who can help. If I set my mind to do something, then it just has to be done.

I am the type of person who believes that I can accomplish just about anything that I set my mind to. I set goals and plan how to achieve them, and I always have some sort of "backup plans" in mind just in case things do not go right. I think that anyone can achieve their goals and dreams if they are willing to put the work and effort into making them happen. If it's important enough to you, you will find a way to make it happen. Don't get me wrong- I do have times when I get discouraged and feel that nothing is working out for me, but those are the times that I need to concentrate on what I want, what is going wrong, and decide what I need to do or to change to make it happen. Sometimes that even involves changing the original goal just a little bit, but that's OK. Maybe I was being unrealistic in the beginning. I have always said that I am not a Quitter (except for smoking, that is!).

I think at one point or another in our lives.. We all have tried so very hard at something & have ended up failing.. And lost hope after one try.. I think it would be silly if a person was to say this has never happened to them.. As I believe we all have given up because you either become to disappointed or you just feel like.. If you we're to try again would it be worth doing so?
I think we've all experienced these types of emotions.. I also believe that sometimes in ones life you have to experience these types of emotions.. To get ahead in life in general. Or to at least motive you to keep on going.
I will admit that I have experienced these types of emotions before.. And it has pushed me to work ever harder to keep on trying until I succeed. I do believe that this saying is true. I believe if you want something bad enough.. And if it's not let's say working out the way you want it to.. Sometimes you just have to push yourself even harder or try even harder for that matter to succeed. It can be rather discouraging but sometimes you can't allow yourself to be discouraged to easily.. As if you do sometimes you could be missing out on a great opportunity..
I also believe that sometimes if you keep on trying to succeed at something.. And it doesn't end up working out each & every time.. That something's just aren't meant to be. I think sometimes a person can try there hardest in life & not end up succeeding to the extent that they want. I believe sometimes a person needs to be able to realize when something isn't meant to be..
It may be difficult to do so but I believe there are other great opportunities out there if one doesn't work out the way the person had expected it to.. I think there are endless possibilities when things don't work out.. There are always other paths one could go down.. Which can allow them to succeed!
I know that when it came to certain subjects in school or when I just didn't understand something at let's say a job.. That instead of giving up I proved myself to others just by trying over & over.. There we're people who just would look down upon me.. Or whisper to others how I didn't have it.. Or how I would never make it.. And it would discourage me a bit but I kept on pushing myself.. Sometimes when people look down on you.. It helps a person to keep on wanting to try instead of giving up.
It took a lot of frustration for me, along with a lot of tears.. But I kept on giving it my all.. I may have not succeeded to the extent that I had wanted.. But I still ended up achieving something at the end of the day.. And I feel that is the most rewarding feeling anyone could ever experience. Is proving to yourself that you could do it even if some people didn't believe in you.. Sometimes you just have to believe in yourself.. As that is the most important thing for a person to do.
In conclusion.. I do believe that you have to try until you succeed. I believe this is a rather beautiful saying as well. But at the same time I do believe a person needs to be able to realize.. When things are just not meant to be.. And that sometimes keeping your eyes open for other opportunities can help you to succeed or excel in life even more at the same time..
I know that due to my experiences that.. Deciding to keep on trying instead of giving up.. Can truly be a rewarding feeling when you eventually do succeed.. Sometimes you just can't allow things to discourage you, including people.. As there are a lot of people in this world who will try to do so! . .
Thanks for allowing me to share! xx
