When to quit or give up

“Never quit” is a catch phrase, yet it’s not very wise and it’s not going to guarantee you success. The truth is that you’ll have to quit some things in life. Take for example smoking, should we not quit that? Or how about relationships. Should we apply that to all of our relationships.

The truth is that there are some things that you should quit and some that you shouldn’t. But how do you know what or when you should quit? Here are two key points to remember:

  1. Quitting for the short term is usually a bad idea.
  2. Quitting for the long term is usually a good idea.

Is the pain that you are experiencing now worth the light at the end of the tunnel? These thoughts are inspired by Seth Godin’s book The Dip.
