Deciding whether or not to give up

Consider these questions:

Do you have an obviously better opportunity?
What did you commit to? Predefine your commitment before starting, to not depend on momentary frustrations to make big decisions to quit or continue.
Would your future self feel regret or relief?
Do you need to give up? Or just take a break?
