I don't know, I feel like there's more to success than simply having unrestrained ferociousness. While i'm gone, my dog will spend hours gnawing a bone to get every last bit of marrow he can out of it. Imagine if he put that same kind of undetermined effort into figuring out how to get on my kitchen table where there's a limitless supply of snacks he would love.

Giving up completely may mean accepting failure, but strategically choosing how to invest your resources is not giving up. Spending thousands of dollars & days simply to obtain a domain name... in an effort that ultimately still failed seems like a series of poor decisions.
