Giving Up???

Sometimes life seems too difficult to be survived... yet, at times it seems too easy to be meaningful... we try, we fail, we try, we fail again, again we try... this goes on... question is "when do you give up?"

Some times I never understood why we keep trying for something we are not able to achieve. Usually we reach such a cross road where we have to select between 'trying' and 'moving on'. I have seen such things in many aspects of life, relationships, friendship, studies, career, and the list goes on.

I'll take the example of career and studies. at one stage we are asked to opt for the stream of our interest, we happily choose one over the others. Later, we select a degree to complete, then jobs. at every stage, some times, if things are not going according to plan, we think, did i make some mistake? Should I have dropped for one more year and prepared for a better institution? At some point of time we start to realise that we need to work in a direction for which we have prepared so far. We prepare, we work hard, some of us achieve it (so called winners), others are not so lucky (i am not talking about those who don't work for their goal). Those who aren't so lucky, try again or give up. Some give up easily, some not so easily.

The question is when should we realise that it is the time to give up and look for options? How do we know that it is good for us to keep trying and that we are not wasting our time? If you have any suggestions please mention is comments.
