Don't Give Up!

When you face an easy task, you can always do it readily and fast.

But, when you are facing a more difficult task, are you still able to accept it and do it?


For some, they took on the challenge and crack their brain to think of ways to tackle the task. And, of course there is no guarantee success, but I believe the success rate is high. Don't you think so?

For some, they gave up at the first thought, knowing it is something more difficult than usual. Without a doubt, do you think they will be able to solve the challenge?


It is up to the individual to choose what they want when faced with a challenge, to either face it or run away. It is a Choice.

I had a cognitive lesson with my student today. He is faced with a big challenge with one of the activities. We have been training for some lessons, but due to his visual skills, it is not easy for him to pass. We were so closed to passing today (3 out of 5 rounds correct). He had to get 5 out 5 rounds correct to pass the level. When I announced that we had to restart from zero, his first reaction is "I don't know how to do. I want to give up."

He is so closed to passing the level, yet, he choose to give up at this time. I felt that he is able to handle this level well, so I encouraged him to continue. After listening and thinking through, he made another choice, to continue with the activity.

And, to his amazement, he passed the level at 1 go without having to repeatedly do the activity. This is the power of Perseverance.

In life, there is a lot of challenges to face. If we were to give up once we are not able to do something, imagine the number of things you are going to miss out on. It will be a very BIG number!
