When things are rough...

Just a general question,

When things are rough,how do you know when to hold on and when to give up?

My rules are simple, if its important for me I give up in the beginning. If it's not, then i never give up.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Words to live by!

Don't laugh at me, but it reminds me of the old country western song by Kenny Rogers:

*You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.*

As they say ''Never give up'' . But yea I do , do cost-benefit analysis .

Well i could be a patron for hopeless causes, i will gladly follow any worthy cause to the end...

All my life i have been on the weaker side and fighting from behind... but i am one of the very few who have learned to get stuck in... afterall victory is for the one that can last longest especially as the ancients would call it the othismos

It may be simple and easy to say then being done, but you gotta be patient and hold it for the right moment.. Now whenever the right moment comes, you'll know automatically..
for now, stop thinking too much!
