“I would rather be a comma than a full stop”‚ Coldplay certainly understands what it means to never give up and to carry on. Magic happens when you choose to carry on and don’t give up. I have had many situations in my life that taught me that giving up is never your best option. You cannot have a rainbow without rain and in the same way you cannot be truly successful and content in life without some difficulty along the way.

Another argument against cars is that people who own them are worried about their cars being stolen or damaged. In order
