• When it is okay to give up

  人生中, 常聽到的是 Don't give up. Keep trying. You can do it. 等鼓勵的話...

  雖然這正面力量是我喜歡的, 但 這也造成有時候, 該放棄了、該轉換跑道了, 卻不知道去哪裡找那勇氣...

  不久前, 自己經歷過了自己人生中的一個 crisis... 那時候近乎崩潰, 看到了這篇, 特別有感觸... 雖然到最後沒有 give up, 但是這篇一直深留我心...

  (***註 1: 如同上面那篇下方 comments/留言 中有人提起的, 這裡說的應該是 不包含放棄生命, 而是說可以放下現在所走的方向, 換個方向走。 / Note 1: As was noted by some in the Comments area beneath the above-mentioned article, this article did NOT say it's okay to give up on "life".... just saying it's okay to move onto another route.)

  或許

  真的該教下一代:

  要游泳, 要先會學溺水後重生的方式 (註2)
  要成功, 要先學會失敗放棄後的再度爬起來
