From Gus - The Possibility Hunter
“Everyone Loves A Quitter”
“Quitting to Meet Sexier People”
“Buddha’s Enlightened Path of Quitment”
These are all titles you may not have heard of before. Someone should write them. Sadly anyone who would take on such a project is unlikely to be the one to finish it.
Let’s face it, quitting gets a bad rap. But maybe quitting is not so bad after all.
Check out Steve Pavlina’s excellent article, Quitting to Win . If you find yourself in a job you hate, but are reluctant to leave in case that makes you look like you’re in need of some career Ritalin this is for you!
Not convinced? Let me drop this tasty morsel to give you a taste (and maybe tickle that deep down suspicion you are a genius after all).
“If you can’t seem to hold a job, perhaps you’re cursed with genius. One of the biggest quitters of all was Leonardo da Vinci. I wonder if his parents ever told him to stop flitting about — painting, engineering, sculpture, botany, anatomy, architecture, music, poetry, etc. – and just stick with one thing.”
If only I’d known that when I was a teenager! Meanwhile, stay tuned for the release of my new book “Unfinished Conversations with the World’s Greatest Quitters”.
Wanted: ghost writer to finish self-help masterpiece.
