It occurs to me that my life was changed for the better when I was an adolescent by hearing a quote from Winston Churchill. It goes something like this:
Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense.
When I heard this for the first time, it made me realize that I had been giving up too easily. I was getting tired and giving up on good things without good reason. I think it helped me do a lot of things I've done, even though I still do get tired of doing good and lazy at times.
I hope I can inspire you to keep fighting the good fight and to only give up if you think you must have been wrong or insensible. If what you're doing is good, carry on!
With much support,
