I have a fierce will to live. others fight a little, then lose hope. still others - and i am one of those - never give up. we fight and fight and fight. we fight no matter the cost of battle, the losses we take, the improbability of success. we fight to the very end.

I Have A Fierce Will To Live.

Giving Up Fighting Loss

More From Yann Martel

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
We're going to fight this battle with everything we have, and we will probably lose. but then we will fight it again, and we will lose a little less, for this battle will win us many supporters. and then we'll lose *again*. and *again*. and we will fight on. because as hard as it is to win by fighting, it's impossible to win by doing nothing.
Fighting Winning Battle
Every time there are losses, there are choices to be made. you choose to live your losses as passages to anger, blame, hatred, depression and resentment, or you choose to let these losses be passages to something new, something wider, and deeper.

The savior taught his disciples, 'for whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it' (luke 9:24)."i believe the savior is telling us that unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish—and in effect save their lives.
Believe Purpose Littles
I've learned to be more reserved, watch what i'm saying; i got in a little bit of trouble. people tell me 'never lose that, never lose that,' but then i get in trouble so i have to lose it. i'm trying to keep a little bit; i'm never going to lose who i am, i just gotta tone it down a little bit.

The only time in the history of the world that we have had any extended periods of peace is when there has been a balance of power. it is when one nation becomes infinitely more powerful in relation to its potential competitors that the danger of war arises.

On balance, i am a supporter of the minimum wage going up. we've got to be very careful what we wish for because some employers - and there could be a lot of them - will be scared away from hiring new people or creating incremental hours for part-time people as a result of that wage going up.
