NEVER GIVE UP

DONT GIVE UP

As i was flipping through the pages of a daily news magazine pondering on the views of my favourite columnist then a thought came to my mind on the topic in view DONT GIVE UP.


I have come to realize that there are three kinds of people:

Those who accept defeat(s), Those who do not accept defeat(s) but but remain defeated and Those who say no to defeat(s).

The defeat that am referring to in this context should not be mistaken for in the game of sports. But i was looking at it from the view point of a man's ability to overcome the challenges of life; what people fail to realize is that life is not a bed of roses, as you progress in life to another level the more difficult the task wii be... let us critically study the three kinds of people afore mentioned.

In the fisrt category, we have those who accept defeat(s).These kind of people can be found every where and as a matter of fact they are more than the other categories of people. These set of people are fast in giving you excuses for their life failures; they are quick to tell you tales of woes they have gone through in life; how the economic situation has really affectted the fortunes of their business; how the death of their rich uncle made them not to continue with college education; how bad health has hindered them from taken up jobs in blue chip companies etc. There stories are endless and they go about soliciting for sympathizers. THE MAJOR PRLOBLEM WITH THESE GROUP OF PEOPLE IS THAT THEIR PREDICAMENT DOES NOT REALLY BOTHER THEM HENCE, ACCEPT DEFEAT.

The second category of people are those who do not accept Defeat(s) but remain defeated. These setof people are those i refer to as not having the ZEAL or what some people would call the WilL POWER.These set of people knows what is takes to to get to the top, they have it well planned , even carried out a feasibility study on their various endeavours of life but still some thing is missing. They dont have what i call the life shock absorber in their mindset, i.e the ability of a person to bounce back from an unpleasant circumstance(s) and as such they remain defeated.

The last category of people are those who say no to defeat(s), they are the resilient people with an extraordinary minndset and vision.They have vowed that no matter how bad their present predicament may be, they will NEVER GIVE UP. These group of people understood the phrases which says TOUGH TIMES DONT LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO.

In what ever you do put God first, and NEVER GIVE UP!
