We have always enjoyed a little quote from a Star Trek spoof entitles “Galaxy Quest”:
“As long as there is injustice, whenever a Targathian baby cries out, wherever a distress signal sounds among the stars, we’ll be there. This fine ship, this fine crew. Never give up… and never surrender!”
Sir Winston Churchill offered some advice during WWII…
“The speech was made 29 October 1941 to the boys at Harrow School. ” Never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
There is something to learn here for all of us. ‘Never give up’ is a reminder not to defeat ourselves… because if we struggle… sometimes, we win…. but if we give up, we always lose.
