Quitting
Leonardo da Vinci once stated,"It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end."
The "too-much-invested-to-quit syndrome" is a powerful driver of human behavior. We justify all the time, effort, suffering, and years and years that we devote to something by telling ourselves and others that there must be something worthwhile and important about it or we never would have sunk so much of our lives into it.
Quiting is a reminder that you control the situation and can leave whenever you like.You don't have to be your own prison guard, keepng yourself locked up in a place that isn't working. But that doesn't mean quitting is easy.We're taught that quitting is a sign of weakness, although in many circumstances, itis just the opposite. Sometimes quitting is the bravest alternative, because it requires you to face your failures and announce them publicly. The great news is that quitting allows you to start over with a clean slate.
Learning when to call it quits is crucial. You need to know when to stop pounding on an idea that isn't working and when to move on to something new.

Bill Yu: I am not one who easily give up. I dont agreee that the worst result comes form the easiest way we choose. for me, i would have much better result/choice if i simply chose to live in an easier way. I understand that to live we have to exist first(surviving is the first thing). You are very right about "think twice before making decisions, think twice why i hold it so long." Thank you and best wishes!

When you are going to quitting , think it twice that why are hold it so long .
I think it is ease for some body to quilt , but Cherish what you have is more meaningful.Any time we are face the herd situation that i need to make the decision,the quilt are first come to your mind , the easiest way you can choose makes the worst result . Every body has different define of the quitting ,So be reality , surviving is the reality , and life is a poem .not every body'life is just poem . we start form the surviving . TP. God bless you. !

@Wang: 你永远是你，是唯一的, 当你想改变自己时，你就容易迷失了， 是吗？ 我觉得我们只需要改变自己对一些事情的看法，而不需要改变自己。Change your attitude about things, you may change the things. i dont know if i m right or not.:)
@PN: I have always liked reading your comments.

@LLY: You are brave and smart, knows what is best for you.
@ Mars lover: I understand quitting is hard---but it is even harder to do it well. Have to make sure when quit, do so with careful thought about the consequences. I think so far i am doing Ok. i am getting along well with myself, and will do it Better!
You are very right: Find what makes you happy and make it happen. i have been trying to make others comfortable(others come first). but it should be ME comes first. I just want be Happy. Make me happy and i will Love you! jajaj.

A wise person knows when to quit... a fool quits at nothing... there is nothing wrong with quitting as long as you will not regret it later.

You have to look at things case for case. Sometimes it's courageous, sometimes it's cowardly. Sometimes it's just the right thing to do.
I used to work for a company whose president told us "Quitters never win, winners never quit." But he had a classmate at Harvard who famously proved that wrong. That classmate's name was Bill Gates.

Quitting is alright if it's a mature decision out of free will and not an act of cowardy.

I should have made the decision to finish my marriage at least three years earlier than I did.
