Sounds interesting. Speaking of practicing piano for countless hours, in Malcolm Gladwell's "The Tipping Point," he speaks about how putting a certain number of hours (i forget exactly how many) into practicing what you do whether that is playing a sport or learning how to play an instrument, you'll be the best at what you do simply because you've practiced THAT much. So much for not quitting, huh? @ CreditCardChaser- looking forward to reading this book. Sounds interesting.

Highly recommended and it is so short you could probably read it in under an hour easily. - Joel One of the best books I have ever read on the subject of when to quit and when not to quit is “The Dip” by Seth Godin.
