#3 What is the best advice you ever received? Why? And did you follow it? (University of Pennsylvania )
The best advice I ever received is one, simple, powerful phrase: Do not give up. This really touched my heart because I’ve lived for eighteen years old and I gave up all that was hard. If anything that required long time effort and endeavor, I gave up. Why? Because it’s hard. I know my self well. I am a person who cannot continue if it is lengthy and hard. But again I know my self well. I do not want to be that kind of person. From now, I do not want to give up because I was told not to give up. I want to start with this challenge. I was supposed to write twenty seven challenges by today, but right now I only have wrote six challenges. Should I stop here because I am too far behind? I got time. I have some time left. I have time to catch up. So I want stop here. Let’s see whether I can catch up or not. Whether I catch up or not, I will gain something. If I catch up, I will see that I could do this. Even if I didn’t, I will be able to say at least I tried; at least I followed not to stop. So this is not the end. I will start writing again. Not only this. I will continue do all the challenge that is coming soon in my life.
Don't give up! I've had similar experiences where i simply wanted to let everything go and just give up but thankfully i didn't and i preserved! Walk on, Walk on!!! (Lyrics from a song)
