    Hope is the worst of all the evils out of Pandora's box. Just because you were lucky, it doesn't mean we also need to suffer by 'not giving up.' By 'not giving up' you will risk to waste your entire life by getting 'almost there.' Just focus on something easier, more rewarding and more satisfying.
