The human body and mind is capable of much more than we usually give it credit for. >We are capable of exceeding limitations that we have set for ourselves based on our observations of norms. There have been instances in which humans who find it difficult to sprint 100 meters have run miles when they feel their life is in danger. My point is this, there are times when we are actually capable of carrying on but we stop based on the "assumption" that our bodies can't carry on. There are people who do not stretch their limits, people who believe in giving up, I don't. My belief is, the time to stop is not when you're tired, the time to stop is when you are done. That however does not mean I do not believe in rest. We need to learn perseverance and persistence. The story of Thomas Edison and the light bulb should be enough motovation. After so many trials and re-trials, dude kept on. See the illumination he has brought to our world.

Rest a little and carry on. Don't quit. Consider this, in life, we tend to meet challenged on out way to progress, does that mean we give up at the first sign of turbulence? Does that mean the next step is to quit life? >Just as we need to keep on living, strive to keep on living, even in the face of great odds, we need to keep pressing on in whenever we do. Don't give up so easily, try harder, because whatever doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. The more you press on, the more you learn and the closer you get to achieving your goals. In conclusion, you cannot win without participating and completing your task. Persevere to the end and push on. There is always light at the end of the tunnel!
