Is It True That Winners Never Quit?

Is It True That Winners Never Quit?

Winners never quit.

But that’s not true, is it?

They just quit the bad stuff. The stuff they don’t like.

Or maybe, the stuff they are not good at.

I mean, Michael Jordan quit baseball. Ryan Gosling quit singing. And Mike Leach quit law.

Maybe we all need to quit a few things and refocus too?

“Sometimes we get discouraged and turn to inspirational writing, like stuff from Vince Lombardi: “Quitters never win and winners never quit.” Bad advice. Winners quit all the time. They just quit the right stuff at the right time.”

–Seth Godin, The Dip
