It's funny that many people are talking about never giving up, but in reality it's a virtue to know the right moment to give up.Masterhttp://www.unyp.cznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451967208270832502.post-75314755351444652742013-08-02T18:09:44.842-07:002013-08-02T18:09:44.842-07:00Excellent blog about a subject which needs to be b...Excellent blog about a subject which needs to be brought out more often.

Is there a specific reason for this? Is it because we all the ability to disengage, but not all of us have a tendency to do so?<br />Your article makes a very important point since so many people get caught in bad or difficult situations and refuse to get out of them for fear of being seen as a "quitter" or one who did not "try". And as you point out, culturally it is often unacceptable to shift goals to something else. Yet we can see all around us the negative results for people who refuse to move on...to a different major, a different school, a different career, a different relationship, a different location, etc. <br />It is,of course, easier to make a change when the goal is clearly unattainable. If only we could know in advance about many of our other goals!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
