"The expression 'Never, never give up' means to keep trying and never stop working for your goals"
From personal experiences, I do agree with this statement. As mentioned in "The Rose That Grew from Concrete" by Tupac Shakur, "funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air". Initially, this poem revolves around a rose that defies the laws of nature. In other words, it promotes perseverance and motivation in order for a person to achieve their dreams. Additionally, the poem states how "...the rose grew from concrete when no one else cared". Therefore, by being optimistic and tenacious, you'll be able to accomplish your goals no matter what others think.

As an example, distance learning has been a slight struggle for me. Because of all the distractions I face at home, I tend to procrastinate. However, by realizing the consequences of procrastination, I've gotten better at finishing homework with time, which is a weekly goal of mine. In this case, I'm striving to stop my habit of procrastinating.

At last, I do agree that "never, never give up" means to never stop the journey you've taken to attain your goals and/or dreams. This is because you won't make any progress with the lack of effort. Thus, even if there are many obstacles, you should never let them change your motives and point of views.
