At that point you can't quit. Great point — true belief means you have to deny who you are. At that point you can’t quit.

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.

They don't believe it really matters. As soon as you truly believe something, NOT doing it goes against your core belief system, so you can't quit.

I heard someone say once that "Quitters never win and winners never quit, but those that never win AND never quit are fools." Great point.

These two things are the aspects that drive me most.
