“Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction, the quitting response that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn’t matter.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

–Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/p>\n

“Pain is temporary. quitting lasts forever.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

–Lance Armstrong, Cancer Survivor and Athlete<\/p>\n

Sad fact: Appx 50% of people quit life’s most significant commitment – marriage. Go to any med school or law school and you’ll see the drop out rate in just the first few weeks is more than 50%, by then end of the first semester, first year – the number is even higher. And that’s after they fought to get in! As I went thru med school I watched as people dropped out all along the way for many reasons, all “valid” to them. Some even quit during their residency!<\/p>\n

Go figure? NOT! Stop wasting your time trying to figure out why people quit. To them their reasons make perfect sense. It’s part of their life’s journey, their learning lesson….not yours. <\/p>\n

Focus more on what successful people DO.<\/p>\n
