Obviously, if there is only one rule, one must rule.Quote:

Never give up without doing your best.
This reminds me of an adage with which I have never concurred: "If something is worth doing, it's worth doing well."Quote:

In general, if something is worth doing, it's worth doing BADLY. In fact, when you start learning how to do it, you cannot do it other than badly. In addition, a great many things are worth doing, but who would want to spend 6 hours a day swimming laps (like Michael Phelps) in order to swim well. It's worth learning to swim, for both safety and pleasure, but it's not worth learning to swim well because its a bore and a waste of time.
None of us ever "does our best" at ANYTHING. We could always do better. Nonetheless, we should continue to muddle through, writing things without the endless revision that would constitute "doing our best", playing games without the endless training and study that would constitute "doing our best" and reading books as quickly or as carefully as we see fit, without worrying about whether we have given up studying them before we have given them our best effort.
You have a point. However I cannot fully agree with it. I do not find that “Doing well” at some thing is the same as “doing your best”. When for example a student says “I wish to do well at the exams”, he would mean that he wish to score a high or good grade. This is in comparison with the general standards of things. However when someone says “I will do my best”, he is talking not about the general standards but of his personal. This could mean that he may end up being among the lowest grades in the class, however it is still to him the best he can do.Quote:

However this does not mean that he may not paint another tomorrow that surpasses the one he did today. When that happens, that will be his best work for that moment in time. In other words your best is really what makes that particular version of yourself feel content or satisfied at that particular moment.
As for “never give up without doing your best”, it does not mean you need to beat everyone to the top. On the contrary it means, “Do what you can do”. It may not be what others expect of you, or it may not even be what you yourself expect from you. However it the best you can do at that particular moment. And that is all there is to it.
I hope what I wrote makes sense to you :)
