6月20日，No. 171，近義詞：投降放棄
堅持很重要，但是適時地發現錯誤，承認失敗，果斷放棄也同樣重要。放棄的是手段、方法、名利，堅持的是原則與信念。
所謂「目標刻在石板上，計畫寫在沙灘上」大概就是這個意思吧。
RELINQUISH, YIELD, RESIGN, SURRENDER, ABANDON, WAIVE mean to give up completely.
#RELINQUISH usually does not imply strong feeling but may suggest some regret, reluctance, or weakness. The queen had no option but to relinquish her crown.
#YIELD implies concession or compliance or submission to force. Soon after the war broke out, the troops yielded ground grudgingly.
RESIGN emphasizes voluntary relinquishment or sacrifice without struggle. The CEO resigned her position after she found out the data for the vaccine experiment had been adultered.
#SURRENDER implies a giving up after a struggle to retain or resist. The customer surrendered their claims after our discussion.
#ABANDON stresses finality and completeness in giving up. After more than 30-year in prison, waiting on death row because of wrongful conviction, he abandoned all hope.
#WAIVE implies conceding or forgoing with little or no compulsion. Though it is a constitutional right to a trial by jury, a defendant can waive the right for their benefit.
