#66: When to Quit

When do you quit? That’s the topic of today’s discussion. As children, we were taught to never quit, especially when pursuing a course of action laid out by our parents. But is quitting always bad? What if you quit that job with the abusive boss, or leave the career that had grown stale to allow time for more fulfilling work?

Of course, the next question is when to quit. We can toss around high-minded creative ideals, but when reality interjects — what will become of your life? Growing up, we heard this phrase often: “quitters never win, and winners never quit.” Is it true, or a oversimplified explanation of real-world problems?
