I mean every day and in in every walk of life and activity people just give up. There often don't seem to be too many consequences or downsides for quitters.
Their targets at work, not achieved then they give up.
At sport, martial arts are hard and they don't think they are progressing. What happens - students just give up. Only a fraction of students ever get black belts and that is because it is hard and worthwhile and some people just don't have the strength of will to get that far.
I hate the word 'Quitter'.
It is a word that I find offensive and I would vigorously, probably physically protest anyone who ever used that word to describe me.
It is a fact though that in the UK quitting seems to be endemic.
Frankly it drives me bonkers. All around me people are giving up often for very little reason.
I'll tell you why people give up. It's because it is easy, too easy. It seems that it is easier to stop trying and bugger off to do something else than stick to the task at hand and that's what drives me mad.
Some of us, in business and socially and in sports/hobbies could just give up and allow our family to starve or get kicked out of our houses. Or stop running karate classes because sometimes we just don't feel like training.
That's the difference between those that give up and those that don't. It's about commitment and seeing things through to the end. Both qualities that sadly seem to be lacking in society these days.

I'm not going to give up though and I certainly am not going to stop talking about issues like this in my blog because it would be too easy and easy does not generate respect.
Hard work and failing but carrying on generate success. The rest will sort itself out.
