Dignity

Would you rather fight with diginity or to surrender in shame?

I would like to fight with dignity, because then you have hope. You may not win, but you still have that small amount of hope. If you were to just surrender, you would be looked down upon. But if you were to LOSE, you would be acknowledged for giving your best.

Hope is what makes me continue. If something proves to be hard, I continue on as long as there is hope. That hope may be so small that only I can see it, but that is enough for motivation.

Small hope grows into something bigger because when you do succeed, you know you have traveled down a longer path than if you KNEW you would succeed from the start.

You gain more dignity if you grow more along the way. If you knew you would win, and then did, you would be shortly praised because you only did a small amount of work. But if you had to give it your all and do a lot of work to achieve something, you would be greatly praised for you had to sacrifice a lot along the way.

As long as there is a sliver of hope, there is dignity in whatever you chose to do.
