Izzy Kiver argues that quitting is the only guarantee of failure. Don't chase hard goals until you're ready and have made the necessary sacrifices. Persist through the painful periods, or you've already lost.
Pursue the hardest thing you can pursue when you're truly ready to give the sacrifice and you've done the proper preparation for it. Sometimes people rush into a business a little bit too soon. They rush into a relationship that's a little bit out of what they can manage a little bit too soon. And it's okay to give yourself space and time until you're truly ready. Some people mature earlier, some later. But the point is, follow the hardest thing you can truly follow and endure. Because quitting is the only thing that guarantees complete failure. And whatever you're trying to do, as long as you hold on to something and endure the really difficult times, painstaking times.
