Quiet a familiar proverb, we hear it right from our school days and keep on getting it. Considering it as a perfect motivation to not give up on something you have taken up. It clearly and positively states that you can Achieve anything if you don’t give up on something you want. Keep pursuing, after many instances of setbacks you will definitely achieve it.
The famous poetry “Incy wincy spider”, the story of how a spider never gives up on climbing a wall, in spite of getting repeatedly washed down by the rain water. What can be concluded from this poetry also reinforces the saying of try and try till you Succeed.
Human mind behaves and reacts in the way it is conditioned. Since all of us have been listening to this proverb and such stories, it is imbibed in our minds. Well, this is not always true. As there are two sides of a coin, there can be pros and cons of the same.
In financial markets there is a concept referred to as “Stop Loss”. For those who don’t know about it, it refers to selling of an asset at a certain limit price. This is done when Market prices start to fall and to stop further loss; the securities are sold at minimum possible loss. This is often said to be a smart trader’s choice. On the other hand trader can wait long enough for market to revive and make profit, but the money is stalled, time is passing and so are the other fruitful opportunities.
When you are pursuing something and still there is no progress, two options are arguable. One is you keep going until the very end and achieve it. Another one is you stop wasting your time and energy while deploying it for something worth it, a task that deserves your efforts.
Life is dynamic. It is not driven by a single thought. It changes and with every different situation you change the way to handle it. Similarly, either the concept of try and try till you succeed or to give that up for something that is worthy; has to be pronounced by you. It should not be the case that you keep up putting in efforts and by the time you achieve your desire, it has lost its value. There will be no point in acquiring it then. Also in that desire to achieve it you lose another opportunity as well. Likewise, it can also be deplorable if you give up when you are too close to achieving it.
There will always be these aspects as to carry on or to change course. None of it is wrong. The only facet that matters here is, do you choose a path and Decide at the right time, because that is the key. Every situation is heterogeneous in nature, and so will be the way to go about it. You decide for yourself whether to stick along or go for something that is more worthy or deserving. No one knows you better than you, so decide. You can do it.
