But if you can’t say “Oops” and give up when it looks like something isn’t working, you have no choice but to keep shooting yourself in the foot.
I was taught a serious "don't give up" lesson in 2018 during my thesis development. After 18 months of experimentation I had no good results, and a thesis is supposed to be complete in 6 months in NTUA. One step before giving up and deciding to do a presentation with a failed experiment, I had this last idea which resulted in a successful experiment.
When things get rough, I bring this idea on the surface. BUT, I keep thinking when I should give up and when I shouldn't. I believe there's wisdom in applying either, I just lack the wisdom in deciding which is the best for the facing circumstance. Maybe the decision has to do with the eventual gains.
Things will get more clear in the next blogs I guess.
