10 Reasons To Never Give Up 1. As long as you are alive, anything is possible. The only valid excuse you have to give up is if you are dead. As long as you are alive (and healthy and free) you have the choice to keep trying until you finally succeed.

golehyas:
I’m not super well-versed in any subject, but I think in the initial throes of academia, it’s nice to have a light understanding of most subjects because the methods of thinking and factual knowledge build upon one another.

smoked apple sage ‘sausage’ + apple dressing.
