Gosh I've almost forgotten to reply to this comment! I have just become interested in Philosophy later on in life when I couldn't rely on my own logic and strength anymore lol. I was looking for some guiding light. Yes I agree acceptance doesn't mean not having any back up plans and just staying put doing nothing at all. If things don't go our way, no matter how hard we try, I think it's best to accept it as a lost cause and proceed to the next course of action. It's not giving up but just avoiding waste of time and effort (especially if we couldn't afford it) and thinking what would be the best in a given situation.
