it does not mean give up on what you are chasing... it means to "let go" what does not belong to you.

A simple sentence(câu đơn) is a main clause with one subject and one predicate.
A compound sentence(câu ghép) is a sentence with 2 (or >2) independent clauses joined by coordinators: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
A complex sentence(câu phức) is a sentence with one main clause and one(or >1) subordinate clause(s). Subordinate clauses include relative clause, noun clause and adverbial clause.
A compound complex sentence(câu phức-ghép) is a combination of compound and complex sentence.
A run on sentence is a sentence with 2(or>2) independent clauses without being connected by a coordinator(or conjunction). It's a mistake to write a run on sentence.

This is basic knowledge of English writing , and it's very very very useful.
