Quitting as a tool

ANTON NG

As a parent and as a partner at P&A Grant Thornton, quitting is a topic that I always find slippery. The decision to quit—particularly its grayness, which is sometimes oversimplified into “quitting is bad and persisting is good” — makes this topic very interesting. In every activity or project we undertake, and even in the relationships we get ourselves into, we choose to either quit or persist. In this article, I do not intend to look at quitting as either good or bad, but as a tool for further growth.
