Quitters Never Win.
 
Are you a quitter?

Neil Peart March 18th, 2016 6:19 AM

Thank you. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

congrats!!

I used to be a quitter in all honesty. I think a lot of it was because I was an extremely lazy person and didn't want to work to find a solution but as I grew older, that went away. Nowadays I make sure to finish whatever I start and will work obsessively at things to make sure they are completed.

I'm a quitter, yeah. I start more things than I can finish. But I'd rather quit something I didn't feel was going to pan out than stick with it and hit my head against a wall not being able to go further.

Nope. When it comes to writing, I always make a promise to myself never to quit what I love doing. Same applies to real life as well. I'm the type of person who'll keep trying and trying again. In terms of actual stories though, I do quit often on my projects. This isn't actually because I'm a quitter per se... but that it just didn't work out for me is all.

I never really quit, I just go on hiatus sometimes. In some situations, it can be difficult to press on, so I 'quit'. But I always come back if it's something important, or something I'm passionate about.

The only thing I've really quit for good so far was Wal-Mart. But I would consider that a win, as well.

haha depends how you look at it, everything i've quit was because the end result was no longer worth it to me. people make quitting to be a weakness, but i think knowing something is no longer right for you and gathering the courage to quit takes some strength!

I'm a pretty determined person and I rarely quit. I prefer to stick things out to the end and if I lose then I'll do it with my head held high.

It's one of my firm beliefs that if you set a goal in life you should never give up on it. Ever. In my case, I usually keep working towards a goal even if I decide that setting that goal wasn't a good idea. The way I see it, I already set the goal, so it's too late to do things differently now.

Depends on what we are speaking about.

Her March 26th, 2016 1:45 AM

i'm less a quitter than i am fickle
maybe that's just me using semantics to feel less disappointed lmao but whatever

I try to be determined and I'm typically rather intense in the things I focus on, but if I decide something isn't worth it or I'm simply tired, I end up mentally twisting it and thinking 'it's alright, I never particularly cared or 'I'm not gonna care about it in the future, so oh well!' and taking the blame off my inability to commit and putting it on the altar of fickleness instead. It's much easier to withdraw from something if you're able to convince yourself it never mattered in the first place. Ah, such is depression.

I'm not really a quitter, but I do procrastinate to an extreme. Like things that should have been today may not be done until next month or the month after. They do get finished though for the most part.

Arylett Charnoa March 26th, 2016 6:07 PM

Yes. That is because I am also a coward.

The moment I catch even the slightest whiff that something might fail, I run. I run and I run, and I hide and disappear off the face of the earth. When I give up, I give up hard. I will erase all traces of my mistakes.

There is only one thing I will never give up on and that is because if I did, my life would be over and I would have very little reason to exist. That is my biggest project, my story that I want to finish one day.
