I thought that in this thread, there's a connection between working and retiring.
Some get it just after a trial, others many trials. Always remember that your case or situation might be different and you might fall into the harder category of individuals.
Don't even think of stopping if it didn't work out the first time, just like some did, it is okay to ask questions, ask for help. It is okay to get mad and angry sometimes too as to why things seem harder for you to achieve. But in whatever you do, don't quit or stop working.
Just have perseverance when you work.
If you think that you're working the right thing, don't quit. If you believe what you do, there's no reason to quit. But quitting is also an option if you're exhausted and you see that there's nowhere to go with what you do.
You can take a rest and quit for a while but don't quit completely with what you like to do.
