Don't Give Up
When i was young...
My teacher taught me not to give up...
My coach taught me not to give up...
My teammates told me never to give up...
As i grow old...
I taught my students not to give up...
I coached my players not to give up...
i encourage my teammates not to give up...
but now...
i've realised and learnt that by giving up...
it does not mean that i've failed...
it simply means that i'm accepting that things are not meant to be...
it simply means that i'm moving on to be a better option...
struggling between giving up and not giving up...
can i throw away my beliefs and values...?
and instill a new mindset...?
is giving up really ok...?
why then do we always tell people not to give up...?
should i just accept the fact that it's a better option to give up...?
yet somehow...i cannot convince myself that it's the end...
somewhere in me tells me not to give up just yet...
somewhere in me...i hear voices saying....
Press on...press on...don't give up...
