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!!

The Psychology of Communication

So I ran across this topic in Pinterest and I really had to stop what I was initially doing to read this article about the Psychology of Communication.  Y'all know that I am about to have fun with this, right?   Here are two words that most of us do not know how to use well: psychology (and Lord help us!) and communication (Our Father, give us, all those on this earth the understanding of having patience with ourselves as we form our words to correctly come out of our mouths . . . . ) In today's time our biggest problem is that we don't listen to understand before replying.  (Can I get an AMEN! up in here?) In today's time, our biggest problem is that before we speak we do not grasp the full understanding of what the other person is trying to communication to us. (Can I get another AMEN! up in here?) In today's time, our biggest problem is that we do not full express yourselves right to fully received a proper and correct response.  (I ...

Coming in January!

Happy New Year Everyone! How many of you are happy that the Christmas holiday are over with? January is here now and it is time to start thinking about what we want to accomplish in 2016.  First let's acknowledge that it is 2016!  WOW!  The only thing I can remember about 2015 is my son accomplishments that I am so proud of him for.  Not one but two MOS in the US Army and is now living in Seattle for his new job.  He's adapting and I am praying for him to have much success while he is there. In 2015 we seen more event things that will specificity impact on our culture in the years to come.  U.S. has had to deal with the forth coming of racism between City Police and African Americans because of several shooting that were not necessary to use.  Because of this our nation has had riots that have gone beyond the extent of "How could you?" and "Why would you destroy your city like that?" ISIS has made itself know throw the world with some event...
