Nothing is impossible...

I named my blog "never give up..." because I am sure that most people would feel frustrated over something. Back in high school, I would always feel frustrated when I get stuck on a math problem. Of course I wanted to "give up" because no matter how much I thought, I just could not get the correct solution. However, I was able to get help from my teacher and he explained what I did wrong. After finding what I did wrong, I kept practicing the same problem and found the answer quickly. This feeling was not just only math, but also chess. Whenever I played terrible on a tournament, I had negative thoughts in my head and just wanted to quit chess because I was never able to reach my goal, which was to get a chess master title. But with the support of my parents and my chess teacher, they continued to encourage me to learn my mistakes and work harder so I could do well on my next tournament. Eventually, I received my title and was proud that I did not completely give up. Whenever you feel like you want to give up because of frustration or negative thoughts, find someone who is willing to help and encourage you because nothing is impossible as long as you do not give up.
