有时候, 放弃其实并不一定是一件坏事!
When you try too hard but you don't succeed; when despite all your efforts you don't get the results you need, give up and move on. Drop it like it's hot, and run in the opposite direction as fast as you can.
当你竭尽全力还是没有成功的时候,当你付出所有努力还是没有得到想要结果的时候,放弃吧,然后从头再来!扔掉这块烫手山芋,以你最快的速度逃离它。

The problem arises when all these inspirational quotes start confusing us.
但是当这些励志名言把我们弄糊涂的时候,问题就出现了。
These messages tell people not to give up, but they don't tell you that it should only apply to your true dreams.
这些名言告诉人们不要放弃,但是却并没有告诉你那只适用于你真正的梦想。
They tell one to "try and try again" until they succeed, but that amount of effort should only be put toward what you really want in life and one should never quit at what they think to be their life's purpose.
它们告诉人们要“一次又一次地尝试”直到成功,但是那样的努力应该只用来得到你人生中最想得到的东西、以及无论人生目标是什么也决定不会放弃的东西。
The rest is all just there to confuse you, distract you, give you a headache, heartache and depress you, so don't let it.
其余的一切都只是为了迷惑你、让你分心、使你头疼、令你心痛、逼你抑郁,所以不要让它得逞。

If you always end up burning the chocolate cake you are trying to bake, maybe it is because you were born to buy one and not make one. Quit baking.

Try to recognize your talent, your ability and your skills. Find out what you are good at, what makes you happy and then work on it.
试着找出你的才能、你的能力和你的技能。找出你擅长的东西、使你快乐的东西,然后从事那方面的工作。
If you do, no one would have to tell you or inspire you to not give up because when you love something, you keep trying until you get it right and the enthusiasm flows from within.
如果你这样做了,没有人会来告诉你或鼓励你绝不要放弃,因为当你喜欢某件事情的时候,你会一直尝试直到做对它,而在这过程中你会一直保持极大的热情。
Don't worry about what people will say or think, it's your life, you have to live it and you have to be your own boss.
不要担心人们会说什么或想什么,这是你自己的生活,你必须活下去,你必须成为自己的主宰。
