"Learn when to cut your losses" was one of the best bits of advice I ever had given to me.
But exactly WHEN one should give up is the Rub.
Too soon and you are going to be a failure. Too late and you waste
time and money.
It's a bit of a problem actually......

It's like that old saying, "try, try again"! If you don't get something the first time then you keep going until you do because at some point your bound to get whatever it is your after...... but if your like me and you fail a thousand times then give yourself a break and go back at it at a later time!

I guess that would depends on what your giving up on, some things can't be giving up on.
If it's just something your interested in maybe it would help to stand back and look at it from a different perspective, that helps me a lot of time to notice things I wouldn't normally.

If you have tried to the best of your ability to do something or achieve something - but havent managed it, youve succeeded in giving it your best shot. Sometimes we try to obtain the unobtainable - but this doesnt make us failures.

It all depends how bad you want what you're trying to accomplish, and if you are doing the "thing" for yourself or for someone else.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well.
