How to use "Give up" in context?
Giving up is not an option, it's a choice. We all have that one moment in our lives where we just have to suck it up and get past the obstacle in our way. The thought of giving up fills us with dread, but it's one of the most important decisions we make.
We have to be willing to face our fears and take the necessary steps to overcoming them. Some people panic andgive up before they even try, but in the long run this only creates more stress and insecurity. We have to be patient and willing to work hard.
The first step is acknowledging that there's a problem.
