When to say ‘I CANNOT’ or ‘I QUIT’?
Is it enough to say ‘I quit!’ or ‘I CANNOT!’?
Do you complain of everything that is happening to you right now?
Aren’t you satisfied with your body or the way you look?
Do you easily lose hope?
Hope is the most reliable source of strength when it comes to the point that you don’t know what to do and you think of impossible things.
But WHEN can you say it is time to QUIT or YOU CAN’T DO IT? Is it before doing the things you want to do but you think is impossible, OR after actually doing it and failing to accomplish it?… I won’t answer this for you but YOU WILL REALIZE IT!

CONTINUE READING AFTER WATCHING THE VIDEO……
After/while seeing the video, how did you feel/felt? Disgusted? Saddened? Angered? Happy? Annoyed? Anxious? Pity? etc..
The video is real, Peng Shulin’s body was cut in half by a large transport truck in 1995. It took a team of more than 20 doctors working feverishly to save his life. Skin was grafted from his head to close his torso up, but his lower body could not be saved — leaving him to ‘stand’ a full 2 feet 6 inches (78 centimeters) in height.
After being bedridden for years, doctors in China didn’t have very much hope that he would ever be able to lead any form of a normal life again.
I have a question for you, if the doctors in China didn’t have very much hope that Peng Shulin would ever be able to lead any form of normal life again, HOW MUCH MORE HOPELESSNESS DO YOU THINK DID PENG SHULIN HAD for himself?
By simply looking at this picture, what can you say?
- If you were him, will you QUIT?
- If you were him, will you be HOPELESS?
- If you were him, will you feel ISOLATED?
Even though he failed in early attempts, he did not stop; he continued. Failure is just a requirement to SUCCESS, so don’t feel hopeless when it comes to facing difficulties in life.
As I look at the photos above, I can say it’s a matter of optimism, because OPTIMISM is not just the way you think, but how you get up after a fall, and never quit after you fail.
Life is a journey, and full of situations where you cannot know what will happen and when things will happen. Everything happens for a reason. Everything in this world has its beginning and also its end. It’s only up to you how you manage it and how will you adapt. This man proved that HOPE is the most miraculous weapon we have. He never thought of it as a problem, and in doing so he became the way and inspiration for many people to realize that even when the worst thing happens to you in life, that you NEVER LOSE HOPE, NEVER QUIT, AND NEVER COMPLAIN. As I have said, EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
If you would ask, what is the reason why this happened to him? I would definitely say that because he would become an INSPIRATION and HOPE not just to other people like him who are amputated/disabled, but to all of the people who feel EMPTINESS and HOPELESSNESS.
Reflect on this: We always tend to complain about simple problems we face during our lives and we easily lose hope and quit. Do you think you have the worst problems in this world? Money? Love? Loneliness? Disability? Is that so? Do not complain, but rather BE INSPIRED! You have the strength to face all of it more than him, so why QUIT? You only need the courage and hope TO MAKE IT! You have all the answers to your problems, all you need to do is to REALIZE IT and BE THE GREATEST INSPIRATION TO YOURSELF!
LOOK! HE MADE IT! HOW CAN YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN’T?
Peng Shulin has now opened his own bargain supermarket, called the Half Man-Half Price Store.
The inspirational 37-year-old has become a businessman and is now a role model for other amputees.
MAYBE HE IS PHYSICALLY A HALF-MAN, BUT HE IS AN INSPIRATION.
HOW ABOUT YOU? FULL-BODIED WITH HOPELESS THOUGHTS? OR FULL-BODIED AND DISSATISFIED WITH LIFE?
Never Complain about everything, rather LET IT BE AN INSPIRATION TO YOU!
After reading this, You shouldn’t say “ I QUIT or I CANNOT!”

Hi! This is really a great and inspiring story. It brought me to tears as I remembered the seasons of my life too.
Hindi madali ang dumanas ng kung anou-anong kahirapan, physical man or family problems or financial na issues… whew!
One of the blogs that have inspired me during the lowest times of my life is this: http://www.ceefuerte.com/lessons-of-life/ … Really, really brilliant content; short lang pero tagos sa puso. Subukan n’yong basahin, guys!
Thanks again for this great story!
Very touching. Ego boosting.thank you for this article

thumbs up! its not just the way you think, but how you get up after a fall, and never quit after you fail.

i had a new inspiration ^^ i wanna met that man
D
have you watched the video? it’s very sad
yah! nainis ako dun sa mga tao hindi man lang sya tulungan.
korek. pero malay mo naman inaantay lang yung ambulance
the guy in the video wasnt Peng shulin. The guy was a vietnamese and he died on the way to the hospital
Mabuti pa nga ang mga kapansanan nag sisikap na mahanap ang paraan to live independently na hindi umaasa. Hindi katulad nang mga taong kumpleto pero pasakit sa mga magulang. YOu can say Stop!Pag alam mong mga mararating mo ang gusto.
He’s a one of a kind man. Dapat ilagay sa guinnness world book of records haha!
me too. . if i’m that man i think i would give up.
i would like to be as strong as that man, no matter how tragic happens to his life, he’s still strong. He’s very ispiring.
–I CANNOT !
AT KAKAYANIN !
How inspiring that man:)
Your blog is one of a good example of inspiration. I always complain about my life, I asked for more and not being contented of what I already have, after reading your blog I realized how blessed I am. Instead of complaining about life I should be thankful. My life is much better compared to this man. He is such an inspiration!
I admire the Vietnamese. Just not long ago they were devastated by a savage war but look at them now. Already has surpassed the Philippines in a lot of matters – economy growth, culture, sports, politics and government to say the least.
never loose Hope!
There will be always hope… para s country naten…
just like the man that believes he can walk again..:)
HOPE!
galing nya..kbilib tlg..
