I see that outside my window, someone has given up.

Their shed, which the roof seems to have collapsed on one side, is now covered by a tarp, which is also now fallen through.

They’ve effectively given up on the shed, and its likely that this disrepair will actually end up with the shed having to come down.

Why is it that people give up?

Why does one just say “I’m done”?

I think this should be against everyone’s personal rules. There should be no giving up, no matter how tough something is, the giving up will likely be less rewarding than if you just stuck it out.

Let me define the edges of giving up.

Giving up means that you will no longer continue down that avenue, because its not worth it to you anymore.

Everything should have value, and perhaps what it takes is a change in tact.

Perhaps this man should have bit the bullet and repaired the roof before it was too late. If he didn’t have time, hire someone. If he didn’t have money, put a second tarp on. Who knows.

But giving up has now resulted in a loss. Greater than that if he had of put more effort in.

I bring this up because everything, including myself, has given up on something, depending on your scenario this could be a viable option, but there’s usually a better one.

Remember that next time you’re about to give up.
