The match was falling apart on the tennis court when the opposing side made a controversial call and my partner walked off the court saying “I QUIT”. The truth is unless Roger Federer was somehow going to replace one of us we were going to lose anyway so why not do it our own terms and without breaking anymore sweat. I followed this philosophy recently when I saw that a group I was forming was dissipating in thin air and decided that I didn’t want to be the last person standing. The truth is sometimes it is truly better to quit especially when that fat lady starts humming her song.
