Hello friends and dear mylotters, I wonder how much patient you had. When things went wrong,do you easily give up,and stop,and say..."i'm fed up"!I had face problems,emotionally and financially. I always tried my best to give the best solution,to solve each problem the very best i can. I never thought,i will also come to this point of almost giving up. yah,i thought i am strong enough...but lately,found myself crying in silence. I know God is always there to carry all the burdens,maybe,i am just too emotional...or,maybe,i am starting to feel self pity(i wish to have more courage). How about you dear friends and mylotters,have you ever felt alone when you need someone and found no one to listen to your cries? Hear me calling. Waiting for your response and comments.

Hello shibham, How are you dear brother,i never knew you were a short tempered person nah. Well,i agree with you,that depends on the subject and situation,if being annoyed then,maybe a heated argument would surely arise,that,i too can't hold my temper in times like that(hehehe) You are not emotional yet sentimental and sensitive...ohhh..now that makes you really short tempered(being sensitive) But,i like sensitive men,it means,they are of a loving kind(uhmnn) Thanks for your response and have a great day always dear.

yeah i give up but not that fast. i usually try to work it out , try to solve the problems but sometimes it is not enough to try we must succeed and not give up till we succeed and i am guilty that when i am almost halfway there to succeed that i give up too soon. that i just throw away those sacrifices i went through cause i felt it was so hard already and that i am not willing to give more to reach my goal . but it is not really worth it to give up that easily or too soon. sometimes one day too soon and when the answers or success or dream that we try to reach is just almost one reach away, that we really have to persevere. and i am trying to persevere in life so that i can reach that dream.

yes we need courage to surpass any trials and troubles in life and for us to come of this situation we should always be courageous and not be discouraged though emotionally we felt like giving up and tired already . but we should make it our goal to win over the situation specially when we are already assured of winning as long as we don't give up too early.

Hello hotsummer, Precisely,sometimes we give up when we are almost there. When we felt we can't make another step anymore...becoz of too much pain,not knowing that...the solution is just a step ahead of us. Losing hope is not that bad,after all the sacrifices and effort,when we can't see any hope...we gave up...i guess it's normal,becoz,if we only knew the better solution,we surely had do it the earliest time possible. Reaching our dreams and goal in life needs a lot of perseverance...lot of knowledge on how to deal with trials and problem. Being emotional won't help us to achieve what we want in this life...yet,we need courage and patient. thanks for your response and have a great day always dear

i am very patient when it comes to children and i try to be patient when it comes to things i need to do but do get frustrated at times. i do not give up though. perhaps i take a break from and come back to it when i have had a chance to calm down a bit or when i have gotten a bit of rest. i think i can be persistent when i know something has to get done even if it is hard.

Hello mikey, Well,i do agree with you friend. When we know that we had something to get,..a little perseverance won't hurt. I don't get frustrated easily...i am also the like of "try and try until succeed. But,sometimes,frustration comes our way,when we think there is no way we can do... Trying again after failure is one good attitude of a winner... Thanks for your response and have a great day always !!!

hi jaiho... i'm sad to hear that you've been through this situation right now, but i guess you are not alone, coz all of us, at one point in our life will feel the same way... sometimes our patience do have limits, but we need to be strong and have faith in our God. He is always there, just waiting for us to go back to Him & ask for His help & guidance. there's nothing wrong if you cry it all, it will help you. you have your children, they can be your inspiration and strength to carry on... i hope that you will be fine soon. your friends are also here to listen to you... God bless my friend....

Hello dear amiga, For all the trials that i was been and has been,i never dare to ask "GOD why". Yes,i had strong belief in HIM,and cast everything to HIM. When i am alone sometimes at night,as i am lying in bed and talking to God in silence,i don't even realize that i am crying. I seldom cry,trials made me strong. But lately,i am feeling too emotional,that,i often find myself crying at night. Maybe,it's just a normal feeling,when you had no one to talk too.(a mom/dad/brother/sister)they are all living far from me. Thanks for your response and understanding my dear,that is one consolation,to know that,somewhere out there,there are friends who cares.

become a strong man - become a strong man and never give up.
I have to say that I am strong man indeed.On matter what troubles I have meet, I will try my best to find the best ways to solve each problem. Everytime, when I am into troubles, I find I am living alone without any friends. Yes, I have to face the difficulities alone. Sometimes, I may feel lonely because when I need someone and just find all people have been away from me. Perhaps I have to cry myself, but I won't choose to give up. A strong man will bear hardship without complaining. When have gotten troubles, keeping silent and trying to find the methods to solve the problems is the best way to become a strong man.

Hello getbrowser, Men are physically stronger than women,and it's good to know that you are emotionally though also.Not all men are emotionally capable of being strong to face problems compared to women. Men doesn't complain unlike women. Women can't hardly kept and can't control complaining,it is becoz,that's our defense mechanism. Thanks for your response dear and have a good day always

You see each one of up cannot be strong like a rock. We as human beings sometimes land in a difficult situation that we feel helpless. I normally don't give up easily in case I'm facing a problem. I use all my resources to counter the problem.

I agree with you that when burden appears too heavy and we are deep neck down, then we may give up. Optimism and positivity always help overcome difficult situations. Have a nice day to you too!

hello friend, Yes,i do believe in God and that HE will never give us any trial that we can't bear. But sometimes,our weakness as human still can't be prevented when no one to give us a little care and attention in times that we needed we most. Giving up is a feeling that can give us more challenge on how to face difficulties in life...on how to fight and struggle...so,we need to face our fears...

have the thoughts of giving up, however never had that happen in actual.. of course it's never easy to give up, now matter for financial or emotion. I had once thinking of resigning of my job when I first join the company and after much rambles with my boss, however in the end the only reason that make me put in my letter, is my new born baby, and nothing related to being fed up or tired.

Hello friend, I know dear,giving up is like laying our cards as a loser. But sometimes,it is easier said than done. We can never tell unless we in such situation,when,we felt all alone and that the whole of the world is against us and,the weighed of the burden is too much to bear. I know,there is always hope,i always believed in it...as how do i believed in God. Thanks for your response and have a great day always

Hello linuzz, Yah,giving up is not that bad at all,especially when we give up something for the sake of the goodness of the others. Sometimes,giving up is self-made...to make us more stronger,to sacrifice for the other's happiness. Thanks for your response and have a good day always

I have a very stressful life but I find myself wondering if I'm making it worse by doing the things I do. I feel like giving up is an option but life seems to be getting worse and worse and worse. I starting to think God is trying to break me down and make me listen to words that I just can't hear.

Hello MissKat, I guess so my dear,maybe God is trying to give messages,but you just don't know how to figure out things. Sometimes,God spoke to us in many ways,reminding us thru different ways. Trials is one way of giving us warning or reminders... At least,you still try to make things better..be strong,and i am sure,God will always be on your side.
