If there is one key takeaway/incentive from watching animes, that would probably be the "never give up" spirit, "あきらめない".
Although fictional and rather unbelievable that the protagonist would always seem to triumph any 'pinch' situation through willpower alone... how many of us truly believe in ourselves in the real world? The transition from being a student to a professional invokes doubt and disbelief, probably not for everyone, but that is definitely what I am going through right now.
Despite how cowardly the idea of giving up feels, it is often the easy way out and more-than-frequently used. How many of us had gone: "urgh, i'm leaving this to fate"? or "I'm just like that, there's nothing I can do"... this are things I have heard myself and people around me say.
Perhaps its time to change things up a little, to start believing and to delete the phrase, 'give up' from my life dictionary. ありがとう、Fairy Tail. たくさん教えてくれました。今から、頑張ります。
