Giving Up or Getting Up?

You know, I often question many things in life, such as determination, courage, faith and even life itself.
Hey, call me emo if you will, but curiosity never really killed the cat.

Anyways, I've encountered many, many people with their own set of problems.
Sure, we all do have little demons of our own, but not many are actually willing to share them.

The other day, a junior told me about her fear of failure (in general).
Well, we all are, to a certain extent...but this is where the "Dare to Fail" phrase kicks in.
Of course, failure isn't fatal - it's merely delayed success...depending on what happens after the failure itself.

What I mean here is that we all have choices...whether to give up or get up.
Some people give up way too easily - they simply aren't confident of their potential, or are unsure of the risks.
Well, let me state this: The greater risk is not taking the risk.

Someone who just failed would be understandably sad and disappointed, especially after having worked so damn hard for that little moment.

But once you've banged your head on the wall enough, you'll stare at the dented wall and start thinking...What am I doing? Man, I'm being stupid.

...and that's where the getting up phase comes in.

Get up, dust the dirt off your shirt and go on.
You won't know where you'll be in the future, but hey, there's no rule that says you can't enjoy your walk meanwhile.

Life is short, man. You've gotta live before you die, or you die before you live. Simple as that.

By the way, the song I listen to ironically fits <_<


Guess that's it...so it's really up to you to either give up or get up.
Your choice is in your hands.

Later~
