Is it ever okay to be a quitter?

I have noticed that in life it is never okay to be a quitter. This is because without determination you can never succeed. When you truly want something you have to work for it without giving up.Sometimes you may say to yourself, "It's not worth it, I quit!"But even when you feel undetermined and hopeless you cant quit under any circumstances. In the long run all of your sacrifices and time will be worth it. You will become a successful person as long as you don't quit when things become get tough and you feel that all of your work wont be worth the sacrifice. In addition, all of the great things big and small that we have have been made from people who don't give up. They strive for what they believe in. They are accomplished people , not quitters and this is what I think that we should all be. In the novel, The Fighting Ground, the protagonist, Jonathan, is faced with many hurdles that force him to either be a quitter or an accomplished person . Throughout the story he decides to face all of the obstacles that stand in his way. Even though he has a few weak moments such as on pg 86 in which it states, " Jonathan jumped up crying and pleading 'Don't kill me please!''' He still managed to be a hero in the end. He was determined and had good intentions. An example of when he was a hero was on page 127 when he , " Kept walking cradling the boy in his arms. His muscles ached but he continued," this is because he wanted to find the Corporal and most of all help the vulnerable young boy. So, I truly believe that it is never okay to be a quitter.
