Do you give up easily?

I mean, are you a fighter or are you a quitter?

Do you give up if you are unsuccessful at something, say for example, difficult math and just take the bad grade or lower grade or do you study your ass off, get much help as you can, etc.

Do you let things get to you easily?

in most things in life, I tend to quit. Which, most of the time is good- if it doesn't matter, I shouldn't get an ulcer over it.

I'm a fighter, even though I don't often win. I don't often have to fight either, so that might be why I'm not that great at winning.
 

Never give up, ever, quitters never win, winners never quit.

This is absolutely true.

Same here. And for good or bad, my lack of giving up is more of a stubborness in proving someone else wrong than any desire to prove myself right.

It's an effective, but not necessarily healthy way of going about things.

I hang in there.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Let's win this one for the Gipper!

I hardly quit anything, but sometimes that isn't such a good thing. I take my inspiration from Christina Aguilera's "Fighter".... LOL!

I fight for things that I believe in, but I also know when to give it on certain issues. Also, fighting is one thing, being stubborn is counter productive.

i used to never quit for any reason, but as i got older i realized
there are some things that just aren't worth it.

As far as math goes, I do try my hardest. I'll get help through the teacher if I don't understand anything. I do not give up. Last semester my first test I got a D. The rest of the test I ended up with Bs or better.

It depnds on whether or not I actually care. I'll fight in proportion to the amount I actually care about what it is I'm fighting for.
