Never Quit!

"If you have been assigned a task, you had better seriously evaluate your ability to complete it.  There is no honor in accepting a remarkably daunting task if you can't get it done correctly.  Lives depend on you.  You should not shelter yourself in menial tasks but should carefully assess all situations and take on any challenge you feel able to accomplish.  Moreover, remember that once you have committed, you are in.  If you suddenly find that you're in over your head, you had better sprout gills and come up with a way to finish the job (Needham, 2003, p. 4)."

How well do you complete tasks?
