We tend to think of grit as the highest of benevolent traits. People who finish marathons even after they’ve broken a bone, that kind of thing.
But as Annie Duke, former professional poker player, puts it, in a lot of arenas (like poker), “knowing when to quit is a survival skill that separates elite players from the rest of the pack.”
Put another way – know the difference between “quitting” and “cutting your losses”.
Staying way too long in a bad job or career is a good example. A lot of people had this epiphany during the pandemic, when we collectively realized that life is short and you shouldn’t stay in a job that feels like it might be killing you!
