The Difference in Quitting and Giving Up!

Recently I was given a letter where the word "quit" was used against me.  Upon reading the letter even though the Company A understood my reasons for the request that I asked for, Company B use the word "quit" to describe me.

First of all, ladies and gentlemen, I am NOT a quitter.  If a few of you are like me then you grow with a family or with grandparents who enstealed in you reasons as to why you should never quit something that will have a bright light at the end of tunnel. You were probably told that quitters never to get to accomplish anything else in life, and that they find some things in life too difficult to handle as the older they gets.

My grandfather was very strong able us grandchildren completing things or goals so that we come reep the rewards to have a better life.  And in turn we parents try to teach our children not to become quitters themselves.

However when it comes to that damn job, most of us quit on the principle, principles that you believe in when it came to the company that you worked for.  But some of us quit because we don't like the rules and regulations or that damn supervisor/manger.  And to prevent from putting your foot in his\hers ass you just simple left that job.  right?

Giving up is a different matter all together! To give up is to acknowledge that you can not find a solution to the problem at hand or when you cannot get some one, and usually is it the spouse, to find reason with you. Okay, okay let me make it fair, it could also a co-worker, board members  But we also give up on that problem that you should have step your foot in his\her ass. You give up on fixing that sewer pipe system and call the professionals who will do a faster and cleaner job: you pay more but that is okay.

You give up on wrecking your brain on silly, stupid shit like worrying about his no good ass. Keep it moving: a good worthy person will come to you.  You can give up on a relationship that is going no where.  In fact I recommend that you do for your own peace of mind. You give up on trying to solve that algebra problem: some of us are NOT Albert Einstein unless you love a challenge.

What most of us don't seem to understand is that when you quit it is a complete done action.  When you give up, you can go back and try again.   Either way, we as family members, friends and strangers can encourage each other to continue on the path of our dreams or help each other understand that completing that goal is a self-satisfying accomplishment.

So I personally would like to encourage everyone who has dreams that they have not started on and having a rough time getting them started or have started them and having a rough time in the process of do it\them or goals that are taking long to complete than they should, to not quit or give up.  And then again, whatever it is, if it is positive, don't give up and don't quit.

I am eight classes from graduating with my Masters, for me it is out of the question to do either quit or give up.

Good luck everyone!!

Breaking the Cycle!

As a parent we always want the best for our child(ren)., and we start with educating them on things that we think that would be best for them to know as they grow up.  I was still a teenager when I became pregnant with my only child, Nicolas.  Did I wanted a child at that time?  No I didn't and it was my mother who said to keep him and that she would help me raise him.  My mother was also a teenage parent starting with me and a year later came my one of two brothers.  Now you are probably thinking that my mother why didn't she teach me not to become a teenage parent?   I am assuming that and I was right, that she did not know how.  She wanted to do my best with my life but she did not know to explain to me how to go about living life.  Growing up with 3 younger siblings I saw the struggles that my mother went through, and in my head I knew that I was not willing to do some of things that she.  I knew in my head that if I was ...

Can you commit a Crime?

So when I came across this question: What is the most serious law you’ve broken doing something you thought was morally right, wouldn’t hurt anyone, or was no one’s business but yours?  How bad would the punishment have been if you’d been caught and given the maximum sentence? I was first like “Let me get a parking ticket first before I start thinking about doing something more serious that would retain to the law.”  That’s right yours truly here has never had any tickets from the police or even broken any law. I am a chicken shit when it comes to the law. Hell, let me get a speeding ticket while I am at it! There are some of you who are so much more advanced in this law breaking thing. That I am just going to find a corner and sit there. But let’s think about the jury and if you were on the jury, would you be willing to convict a person for something you didn’t think should be consideration a crime?  If you are like me, then you hate it when you when tha...

Family Drama

Hello everyone, I know the that year is coming to an end and everyone is busy with Christmas coming and the New Year coming, oh there is just so much coming at once. I am so happy to get away this coming Christmas that I can not possibility can not find a way to put it all in writing.  If you did not have family drama during Thanksgiving then it is waiting for you for Christmas. And don’t you just love when you have to deal with family drama? Like parties involved expect you to be involve or they get mad because you try to apply some rationality to the situation that they are either not able to see or not willing to admit the solution.This is the killer part ladies and gentlemen, both parties or all parties believe that they are right. Here is anything that is amazing about family drama: if you voice your opinion they get mad at you. And stay mad at you! Am I right? Y’all I got family drama in the house but then again when is there never drama in the house. ...
