To give you a better view of the difference between giving up and being a realist, I will give you an example. Let say, one day, a man challenge me to become the Queen of England. Should I do anything to take up the challenge?? Of course not. Because it is 99.99% impossible. Firstly because I am a man. How can I become a queen?? And secondly, because I am not from the British Royal bloodline. Thus, I am not not going to do anything to the challenge. And let me ask you. Am I considered as a quitter for not trying? Or am I being a realist for not wasting my time to do something which is near impossible? I'd say I am a realist. And in this case, I am being smart =)
However, I have to warn you that claiming to be realist is not that easy. Before you decide to not trying, you have to make a careful consideration on the situation. If there is a chance, keep trying. Don't give up and keep on praying. Hope always propels the mankind. But if you are sure that there is no chance at all, leave it. Don't waste your time. Move on and do not look backward.
