Never Give Up

Refusing to let failure, fear, doubt, or hardship decide your future. It means getting back up every time life tries to knock you down, even when you feel exhausted, discouraged, or unseen. Every challenge you face is proof that you are growing stronger, wiser, and more capable than you were before. The people who achieve great things are not always the most talented—they are often the ones who kept going when everyone else stopped.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
