The Honour in wanting to give up

I think anyone would call me insane if I were to tell them there's honour in wanting to give up.

But think of this: If we never did achieve in the first place, what's there to give up? If we had nothing to lose, why are we afraid of losing? I bet LKY wanted to give up the very moment M'sia told us to pull out. I bet Issac Newton wanted to give up when he couldn't figure out the Centripetal forces.

There's nothing to be ashamed of when you want to give up. The trick lies in how much more do you lose when you give up? So lock yourself in and steer away from what tempts. You won't know what you will lose if you don't perserve.
