winners never quit
"A quitter never wins and a winner never quits"

Vince Lombardi, a famous American football coach, once said, “A quitter never wins and a winner never quits”. We have heard of this saying at least once in our lives. And we all have had the opportunity to apply the saying to a part of our lives, be it in a sports team, in academics, at work or even at relationships.

A winner is someone who is determined to reach his goals, no matter how arduous the journey may be. A winner is ready to face challenges and obstacles that may come in between him and his goals. On the other hand, a quitter gets perturbed by challenges, and in the midst, gives up. Because he is not determined to face the difficulties, he never reaches his goal and is declared a quitter.

Most of us are not born with talent and skills. We develop them over time. Pandit Ravi Shankar was a world renowned composer and musician who played the sitar. He was so passionate about music that he did not stop learning the sitar. Although he faced difficulties initially, he did not lose hope. He was determined to succeed, and he practised day and night to attain a high position in the international music industry.

Similarly, scientists like Issac Newton and Albert Einstein never gave up pursuing their dreams and interests just because some of their experiments failed. They strived hard to reach their goals and only rested when success touched their feet.

To give up midway is easy but to continue despite challenges is difficult. That is why only winners are remembered for a long time. They are our role models, who teach us that it pays to never quit. Success only knocks on the doors of winners because they are determined in life. On the other hand, a quitter lives most of his life in regret because of his lack of motivation and dedication.

    “Never give up, and be confident in what you do. There may be tough times, but the difficulties which gave you face will make you more determined to achieve your objectives and to win against all odds.” This was what women’s Brazilian soccer star Marta once advised. Never giving up may sound like a goal that is impossible to reach in reality. Although that may be true, in literature there are characters who exhibit it ideally. For instance, Joan Bauer’s short story “A Letter from the Fringe” introduces a figure who showcases these traits. On a somber day, Dana, the protagonist, a high school student at Bronley High was tormented by bullies alongside her friend Sally for being overweight. Although, it seemed as if her heart had been torn out and thrown to the side, she was capable of forcing the two tyrants to flee. Afterwards, she insisted that they had no right to…

    In the chapter titled “The upside of quitting” the authors describe the top three reasons people avoid quitting. The number one reason why people don’t quit things is because they see it as a sign of weakness when in reality it can be the ultimate sign of strength. This idea is important to me because I was always taught to never quit no matter what the cost. Understanding the prudent risks in a mission or any situation is the key to knowing when to quit. When the risks become higher than the rewards it is more beneficial to quit than to risk continuing. Making the decision to quit when the risks become unnecessary can show vast moral and mental strength as well as maturity. This will come in to play everyday as a new Army officer as every decision I make will have prudent risks. Understanding when to quit is crucial for new officers because it could mean the difference between a soldier’s life and death.…

    The decision I made that day was certainly not easy. Part of me wanted to give up and avoid the risk of disappointment and failure, but I chose to pursue my goals despite my fear of failure that stood in my way. I realized that failure is in essence a lack of success; therefore, quitting is the ultimate failure because it precludes any chance of success. From my new perspective, quitting to avoid failure would be absurd. I would gain absolutely nothing by not trying, so I decided to improve and try out again the next year.…

    I used to believe the best way to avoid failure was to quit. Giving up before falling short meant never having to worry about losing or appearing incompetent. By insisting it was not worth my time to try, I could dissociate from my failures and blame them on my lack of interest or the activity’s low level of importance. This mindset went unchallenged throughout elementary and middle school when many of my chosen pastimes required minimal skill. It was not until high school that I began to feel uneasy about my lack of effort.…

    I’m a quitter. And I’m okay with that. Actually, I’m ecstatic. Maybe I should clarify. I’m not a chronic quitter; rather, I know when to quit, and I’m not afraid to do it. Not anymore and that’s because I have realized something 一 people change. On some level, I have always known that to be a fact, but throughout high school I have made a startling connection. I fall into the category of “people” and, therefore I am also subject to change.…
