Ok, so you’re not doing well.
You’re behind. You’re losing.
You know you can’t do better.
It’s tempting to throw in the towel.
Don’t do it.
It’s not just about you.
Your competition is also in the game, and he just may make a mistake.
If you’re not still in the game, you can’t benefit from his mistake.
Stay in the game.
The other guy might make a mistake.
