When Is The Right Time To Quit?
From a certified quitter.
For most of my life, I’ve been a quitter.
The first sport I quit was wrestling, and quite frankly I wasn’t any good anyway. Quitting wrestling at the age of 10 was the first time in my life I realized it was okay to quit something.
I quit soccer when I got to high school. Even though I was a much better soccer player, I wanted to focus on basketball. Plus it was the much “cooler” sport. Girls in high school weren’t checking for soccer players.
I quit the band when I got into high school as well. I was nice on the saxophone, but I wanted to be at the football games chasing girls, causing trouble, and having fun rather than dressed in a band uniform marching around the field at half-time. I was “too cool” for that.
When I got to college, I got even better at quitting.
I quit my internship at the radio station because I was kicked out of the Valentine’s Day party at the Velvet Room.
I quit my duties as the manager of Georgia State men’s basketball team because I didn’t want to wash another grown man’s underwear.
I quit writing in the school newspaper for reasons unbeknownst to myself.
Let’s not even talk about dating and romantic relationships…
