Commented on “A VC”
But JLM, as Seth Godin says, sometimes it’s more important to know when to quit if you want to succeed (see “The Dip” for example). Always a fine line between persevering/”never say die” and “the definition of insanity is trying the same thing expecting a different result”. Sometimes you have to find the door instead of bashing your head against the same wall, but some times there is no door! I know you are a military historian, should the British have continued to fight in France (never say die/press on) to victory or retreated (quit) at Dunkirk? I bring this example up because I believe it is often cited as one of the greatest military decisions in history, preserving the men of the British army so they could eventually succeed in WWII, right? Look forward to your thoughts on this one.
