When do you give up?

    How many months do you work on a project (like a startup) before you give up?

    I'm afraid of letting go ... because I think my project has potential and I want to improve it, but I also don't want to waste my time doing worthless stuff my whole life.

    How do you figure out when it's time to let go and move on to something new?

    Set yourself a time/period before giving up. Maybe a few years. If you think it has potential, you need to work on it like how you planned it on the first day, keep the spirit burning. :)

    If you don't want to give up, then don't give up. It's that simple.

    When I get fed up with something, I simply give up.
    I'm a hardworker but when I don't like something, I just try to avoid that you can say.

    I usually give up when it fails to meet what I predicted, and I'm usually very conservative about my estimates.

    Never give up until you don't want that. It's shows your character and guts you have.

    If you never give up it will grow.

    People that give up don't succeed in life they sit in front of the food stamp office waving at Obama

    I have gave up on some projects within a matter of hours of starting it. I then go back to it a couple of months later and finish it off. Don't give up, keep trying; you will get where you want to sooner or later.

    i never give up. whatever i decide to create the product or project, i do it.. in projects of clients' requirements, if i say i can do it, i really mean it. otherwise may be i will excuse if i cannot. but if i start, i dont giveup.. and i do allot of research to create my own products, and i dont give up, i always complete my products.

    Never give up.One thing I see with websites is that you have to put time in to get the results.
