Financially? Career wise? Family? Which?

Depends. Sometimes immediately, sometimes never. Need more info.

I watched the movie "The End" last night. It wasn't a great movie - but I sure hope you aren't talking about suicide!

Trying to learn to play the piano - when I got old enough to realize I have no musical ability at all, and practise won't make up for that, but that there are plenty of nonmusical people running around.
What are you about to give up on?

Yeah, give up on what? There are some things you should give up. And, some things where you never, ever give up!

Well, she didn't disable her account so she must not be talking about quitting here. Why don't we start speculating (in the hilarious way that we do) on what she could possibly be quitting??? ;D

Depends on how worth it the persistence is...
Getting management to do something about drunk coworker--not going to give up. Trying to give drunk coworker another chance--gave up on that a long time ago.
Doing my best at work even thought it seems to be completely unnoticed (or I still get shit on by the boss I refused to sleep with)--not giving up (and after 12 years it finally paid off, if only for my 4 month promotion, but looks good on my resume and if the job opens permanently I've proven myself). Thinking that work will ever by logical--I was told my first day to give up on that, still have a small glimmer of hope though.
Can I have any influence/control, I won't give up. Is it completely dependent on someone/something else, depends on what it is.

I think she's going to quite trying to figure out how the wool sweaters shrink in the washer/dryer, but a sheep's hair doesn't shrink in the rain. Or why you have to push start to stop your computer.

"Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never -- in nothing, great or small, large or petty -- never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."

I give up on thinking that MU will ever find a girlfriend. I just gave up on MU ever making any logical sense whatsoever. It just ain't never going to ever happen, EVER.

I gave up on thinking my mother's complaints about me would ever be that helpful / constructive.
