Winners do quit

Success almost universally comes at a cost. Getting good at something means you have spent enough time at it so that you were not spending time with anything else. You quit a lot of interests without even realizing, as you grow older. Quit friendships, quit relationships, and quit side-project ideas.

So winning at anything really means choosing to quit lots of other somethings, irrevocably: we all have but 24 hours in a day. Winners do quit — they quit a lot, all the time, in order to focus on what is really worth building.

The questions I often ask myself are: what do I want to win? and what am I willing to quit? (The latter being my pet pain-point)
