The Greatest Weakness

It's in giving up, failing to try again

The Greatest Weakness

In life, we all face moments of despair

When giving up seems like the only way to fare

Perhaps a project that's gone on for months

Or a goal that seems beyond our grasp and haunts

But our greatest weakness lies in giving in

Admitting defeat and letting fear win

For the most certain way to achieve success

Is to try just one more time and no less

Success is not easy, it takes hard work

Effort, time, and persistence, do not shirk

Push yourself when things get tough

Challenges are an opportunity, not a rebuff

A growth mindset is key to rise above

To learn and grow, to never give up

Surround yourself with support and care

And set realistic goals, celebrate when you get there

Our greatest weakness is giving up, it's true

A betrayal of our dreams and ourselves too

So try just one more time, never give in

With persistence, a growth mindset, and a support system, you'll win.
