Lewis Howes argues that 'never give up' can be harmful advice. He uses examples from relationships and investments to show when quitting is actually the right move, not a failure.
I love the idea of never give up, but you need to know when to quit, because quitting the wrong thing is how you find the right one. It's really challenging because we've heard this our whole lives. Never give up. But if you have a broken heart and saying, I'm not going to give up, I'm going to keep going. In this relationship, even when you've been bruised emotionally and someone's cheating on you over and over and over again, maybe it's time to try something different. If you've broken your leg and you're working out, maybe it's time to pause. Maybe it's time to let it heal. Continuing to invest in something and say, I'm never going to give up. And then you're bankrupt and you say, well, I'm going to take more money out of debt and I'm going to keep investing this thing because I'm never going to give up on this. I promised that I was going to go all the way to the end. You're just going to have no money. There's an edge and a fine line, and you want to get to the edge. You don't want to cross the edge.
