I think:
Rise like lions after slumber,
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew'
Which in sleep had fallen on you,
Ye are many, they are few.
Shelly...... circa 1819

I think about Robert Frost's poem Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening:
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Distractions abound when one sets a goal; not giving up is when one admires the distractions for a moment, then keeps the promise made to ones self.

I think about how there is no "try", only "do" and "didn't do". If you give up, the result is the same as if you "didn't do". "Won't give up" means having the tenacity and will to go on when every part of you tells you it's useless. On the flip side, it reminds me that there are some who are so stubborn that they can't see they should let it go"...someone who continues an argument that has already been dismissed by others. So, there is always two sides to any statement; the positive connotation and the negative one.
hope you get an "A"

ur almost on the verge to give up n something faint yet motivating pushes u to stick to ur dreams (goals) n thats when u say 'won't give up' ...an attempt to fixate it in ur mind which is yet not determined...
sayin it again n again surely works...

ok, SPAM me.
Jesus on the Cross.
I can't help it. I'm not a religious nut but that's my upbringing and that was the first damn thing that came to mind.
