Discussion Fight to do well, or accept doing badly?

[Hoppipolla]

I feel like I have to choose between these two options quite a lot, about different parts of life.

Should you keep working to get the thing you want, or just make peace with not having it.

I guess for some things in life it makes more sense to "give up" than with others. Or at least to compromise. I met a guy once who was homeless because he would accept nothing less than being a famous musician. Because of that he ended up an alcoholic on the street with rotten teeth.

So I guess it depends on the specifics.

go with your gut
If you think it's worth fighting for then it is
If not then not
But don't throw away your chances out of laziness, think about if you wanna have it or not, not if you wanna work for it or not

It highly depends tbh. You have to consider many variables. How easy it is, how realistic it is to achieve it, how needed it is, etc.

Exactly. It depends on what it is that you're talking about.
