quit or persist?
when do you say, enough is enough? maybe it isn’t. maybe, just one more try will do it. maybe, if you stay focused and persist, your efforts will finally be rewarded with success. but when does tenacity and perseverance become… well, simple stubbornness? how many times do you have to ram your head against the wall before you get convinced that no, the next wham won’t topple it down. nor the next, or the next. quit and wham yourself somewhere else.
they say that you are given not that which you want, but that which is right for you. but if you want something so much, will you recognize it when the signs indicate that it’s simply not for you? will you see the obstacles as signs to quit, or as challenges you need to overcome?

CheH, oo nga minsan, ang kulit natin, we don’t recognize the signs. or maybe we do, we just ignore them?
Glo: i wish! quitting has a negative ring to it, but sometimes, we have to, becasue there are better things that awaits us, right? you should know

we can’t quit because there is always that little voice in the back of our heads going “just one more try, this could be the straw that breaks the camels back”…..that’s also why so many of us get obsessed about one thing or another. just one more push…..
even when we do realize the futility of our attempts and quit, that damn voice starts going on with “if only you tried a little bit harder, a little bit longer”……damn that voice! We just have to find a way to make it shut up first, then maybe we can think/see cleared
