Quit vs Grit
There's also the question of knowing “when to quit and when to grit“. If you’re in a tough situation, the best move is often to quit. Burying yourself deeper into sunk costs is never wise, and quitting early can be great, so it can sometimes be difficult to know when to quit and when to grit.
For that, I think it goes back to what you love and what you want. If you’re doing something you love in pursuit of something you really want, grit can take you further along that path. If you have that passion, and put perseverance behind it, you’ve found some grit and it could lead to great things.
