    Yes, indeed, I know the feeling.

    Don't try and then you won't have to give up

    Don't give up

    In this proud land we grew up strong
    We were wanted all along
    I was taught to fight, taught to win
    I never thought I could fail

    No fight left or so it seems
    I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
    Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name
    But no one wants you when you lose

    Dont give up
    cos you have friends
    Dont give up
    Youre not beaten yet
    Dont give up
    I know you can make it good

    Though I saw it all around
    Never thought I could be affected
    Thought that wed be the last to go
    It is so strange the way things turn

    Drove the night toward my home
    The place that I was born, on the lakeside
    As daylight broke, I saw the earth
    The trees had burned down to the ground

    Dont give up
    You still have us
    Dont give up
    We dont need much of anything
    Dont give up
    cause somewhere theres a place
    Where we belong

    Rest your head
    You worry too much
    Its going to be alright
    When times get rough
    You can fall back on us
    Dont give up
    Please dont give up

    got to walk out of here
    I cant take anymore
    Going to stand on that bridge
    Keep my eyes down below
    Whatever may come
    And whatever may go
    That rivers flowing
    That rivers flowing

    Moved on to another town
    Tried hard to settle down
    For every job, so many men
    So many men no-one needs

    Dont give up
    cause you have friends
    Dont give up
    Youre not the only one
    Dont give up
    No reason to be ashamed
    Dont give up
    You still have us
    Dont give up now
    Were proud of who you are
    Dont give up
    You know its never been easy
    Dont give up
    cause I believe theres the a place
    Theres a place where we belong

    Lesson learned OP.

    Never try.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 95 ✭✭Happyzebra


    I absolutely refuse to give up. If you give up what have you left? Despair? Depression? If you keep trying at least you have the fight and I love a good fight! If something doesn't work, try a different way. If it just doesn't work no matter what you do ... Move the goal posts. Success is all about one's ability to adapt .... Well that's my opinion anyway :)

    Welcome to the ranks of the soulless damned OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    Just give up, never try again, its too hard and not worth it when it goes wrong. My motto is 'if you never try, you will never fail' Works every time or not if you look at it literally....can you look at something literally? I dont know and i'm not going to try in case i fail. I win at not failing. Hope that helps.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    Wanna talk about it champ.

    Jaysus py! Who is this girl and what has she done to you!
    Ya aint a happy camper these days at all :eek:

    Wallow in self pity for awhile, force yourself to watch films that make ye cry, buy a refil pad and rip up every page.....or spring clean your room and rip up every spare bit of paper/old receipts there! Ripping itself and the sound is theraputic :p
    If you have a bean bag or plain old pillows punch the crap out of them!

    Eat all the food that is bad for you and throw a few drinks in there too.
    All will be better then!:)

    I want to share this vid, it's about electronics but has that spark of true wisdom.

    Secret to learning electronics - fail and fail often.

    Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,311 ✭✭✭✭K-9


    :D

    To make an AH thread serious, yep.

    Was denied access to my son several times and yeah I thought feck it, just walk way, depressed, felt helpless. Far easier life.

    Stuck it out and it's worth it. Don't let other people grind you down.

    Trying is the first step towards failure.

    NO, not trying is the first step.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 489 ✭✭mlumley


    Keep on trying bro, dont let the bas**rds grind you down. IF YOU GIVE UP YOU FAIL. If you keep on trying, you'll eventualy sucsead.
    pick your self up, dust your self off, and start all over again, as the song goes. Give up = fail, keep on trying = on day youll sucsead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 412 ✭✭janja


    Yup ....................but it solves itself x

    I gave up years ago. Once you give up on all your hopes, dreams and goals you are more at ease with yourself and i enjoy life a lot better knowing what im gonna get out of it i.e Feck all :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,844 ✭✭✭py2006


    Wow there really are some decent people in AH!!

    haha thanks for all the posts guys!!

    You learn more from your failures than your successes.

    Cliched, but true.

    re Don't Give Up: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, apparently. ;)

    Remember: It's Just A Ride:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    A teacher of ours often used this quote, he was the only teacher who ever told us that there is a life after the Leaving Cert if you don't do well in it.

    Its from Samuel Becketts Worstward Ho, David Norris used it in his resignation speech.
    Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

    You're obviously a loser.

    Don't knock yourself over it. Not everybody can be a winner.

    Ya, I give up.
    I think it's healthy sometimes to just let it go.
    If it matters that much, you can always try again another time.

    You are right! Sometimes just letting go relieves so much stress and takes the weight off your shoulders!!
