Book excerpt: Have you ever been caught up in a downward spiral, not knowing how you could ever reverse it? Have you ever been controlled by addiction, desperately wanting to make your own choices, but knowing the cravings would dictate whether or not you did the right thing? Have you ever felt rejected and alone with no one to turn to? Have you ever wanted to give up? Rosalind Jones Larkins' is an overcomer.

And underneath everything is a story about a woman's walk with God." Brenda Breaux BMB Consulting Firm "My mother is a true survivor. Because of her belief that Quitting Is Not an Option, I don't have to struggle, my children won't have to struggle and my children's children won't have to struggle.

Download or read book Quitting, Not an Option written by Glady Cooper Goveia and published by CCB Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want to discover who you are, who you are meant to be, and who God has called you to be, you cannot quit. In life, you will face opposition, but in the face of opposition, quitting is not an option. Do not quit! God has a plan for your life. You are valuable to Him and to those He has placed around you. He loves you and He wants you to succeed and win in life. If you quit, you will never see the end of a matter. When you quit, you stop developing; you stop going forward; you stagnate. You stay the same year after year. If you quit, you will not reach your full potential. You will not reach your destination if you quit. You will not see what you could have or should have been. In quitting, you not only forfeit your God given potential, you forfeit your opportunity to impact the lives of others. If you want to have an impact, you cannot give up. If you want to go where no one has ever been and do what others have not done, you cannot quit.
Download or read book The Dip written by Seth Godin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-05-10 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller In this iconic bestseller, popular business blogger and bestselling author Seth Godin proves that winners are really just the best quitters. Godin shows that winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt—until they commit to beating the right Dip. Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out fun…then gets really hard, and not much fun at all. You might be in a Dip—a temporary setback that will get better if you keep pushing. But maybe it’s really a Cul-de-Sac—a total dead end. What really sets superstars apart is the ability to tell the two apart. Winners seek out the Dip. They realize that the bigger the barrier, the bigger the reward for getting past it. If you can beat the Dip to be the best, you’ll earn profits, glory, and long-term security. Whether you’re an intern or a CEO, this fun little book will help you figure out if you’re in a Dip that’s worthy of your time, effort, and talents. The old saying is wrong—winners do quit, and quitters do win.
Book Synopsis Not the Quitting Kind by : Inc Peter Pauper Press
Download or read book Not the Quitting Kind written by Inc Peter Pauper Press and published by Peter Pauper Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " I've been trying out some hobbies A few things here and there But how come no one told me That ''first-timers should beware!''? An endearing story about a spunky young girl who tries out different endeavors -- from ballet to karate -- and feels like she fails at each one, Not the Quitting Kind will touch the heart of every child who has ever felt like giving up. This inspirational tale, told in Roth's clever verse and Bishop's playful illustrations, is a must-have for anyone who wishes to encourage a sense of perseverance and confidence in young readers. Hardcover with dust jacket. 32 pages. Ages 4 to 8. Full color throughout. 8-7/8 inches wide by 11-1/4 inches high. Author Sarra J. Roth, raised in Rockville Centre, New York, is a former elementary school art teacher with a passion for encouraging confidence, perseverance, and strength in her readers. Sarra's inspiration for her stories comes from her years as a devoted teacher, aunt, and mother of two beautiful sons. Not the Quitting Kind is Sarra's debut picture book. Illustrator Tracy Bishop fell in love with drawing and telling stories through pictures from an early age. She grew up on a U.S. Army base just outside of Tokyo, Japan. Tracy received a degree in graphic design with a concentration in illustration/animation from San Jose State University, and went on to illustrate various book covers and board books. This is her first children's picture book. She resides in San Jose, California. Reviews: SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL K-Gr 2-A child is excited about starting a new hobby in this delightful rhyming picture book. She tries doing tricks on her bike, ballet dancing, and karate lessons, all culminating in humorous mishaps. After an encouraging talk with her supportive mother, she decides that she will not let little setbacks keep her down. This debut picture book is sure to be checked out by many teachers and parents hoping to encourage youngsters to pursue their dreams and never give up. The message is clear but isn't delivered in a heavy-handed manner. Each snippet of the young narrator's story is hilarious and will have children giggling and able to relate. The illustrations are lively and fun and depict the child's frustrations perfectly. The inclusion of beautifully painted characters from various ethnic backgrounds is refreshing. While the story empowers a female protagonist to have the confidence to try anything, it is strong enough to send a positive message to boys and girls alike. -Amy Shepherd, St. Anne's Episcopal School, Middleton, DE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW "Filled with scenes of delicious frilly tutus, flowers, karate uniforms, and crumpled bikes, Not the Quitting Kind performs itself in rhyme, telling the tale of a curious girl who hates doing poorly at things she tries for the very first time. After one tumble from riding her bike, one ballet dance class snafu, and one attempted karate class, she is ready to stop trying because it's always harder than it looks like to succeed. However her mother encourages her to stick to her efforts for a good finish, and her next project, a painting of flowers, grows from a floppy failure to a beautiful picture. . . . Not the Quitting Kind is great inspirational reading for kids who get discouraged with the process of learning how to do new and exciting things."

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Thinking in Bets comes a toolkit for mastering the skill of quitting to achieve greater success Business leaders, with millions of dollars down the drain, struggle to abandon a new app or product that just isn’t working. Governments, caught in a hopeless conflict, believe that the next tactic will finally be the one that wins the war. And in our own lives, we persist in relationships or careers that no longer serve us. Why? According to Annie Duke, in the face of tough decisions, we’re terrible quitters. And that is significantly holding us back. In Quit, Duke teaches you how to get good at quitting. Drawing on stories from elite athletes like Mount Everest climbers, founders of leading companies like Stewart Butterfield, the CEO of Slack, and top entertainers like Dave Chappelle, Duke explains why quitting is integral to success, as well as strategies for determining when to hold em, and when to fold em, that will save you time, energy, and money. You’ll learn: How the paradox of quitting influences decision making: If you quit on time, you will feel you quit early What forces work against good quitting behavior, such as escalation commitment, desire for certainty, and status quo bias How to think in expected value in order to make better decisions, as well as other best practices, such as increasing flexibility in goal-setting, establishing “quitting contracts,” anticipating optionality, and conducting premortems and backcasts Whether you’re facing a make-or-break business decision or life-altering personal choice, mastering the skill of quitting will help you make the best next move.

Book Synopsis Mastering the Art of Quitting by : Peg Streep
Download or read book Mastering the Art of Quitting written by Peg Streep and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2013-12-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find out why the happiest, most successful people have the ability both to persist and to quit. In a culture that perceives quitting as a last resort and urges us to hang in, Mastering the Art of Quitting tackles our tendencies to overanalyze, ruminate, and put a positive spin on goals that have outlived their usefulness. Bestselling author Peg Streep and psychotherapist Alan Bernstein demonstrate that persistence alone isn't always the answer. We also need to be able to quit to get the most out of life. They reveal simple truths that apply to goal setting and achievement in all areas of life, including love, relationships, and work: Quitting promotes growth and learning, as well as the ability to frame new goals. Without the ability to give up, most people will end up in a discouraging loop. The most satisfied people know when it's time to stop persisting and start quitting. Quitting is a healthy, adaptive response when a goal can't be reached. Featuring compelling stories of people who successfully quit, along with helpful questionnaires and goal maps to guide you on the right path, Mastering the Art of Quitting allows you to evaluate whether your goals are working for or against you, and whether you need to rechart certain aspects of your life. When is it time to stop persisting and start quitting? Take a moment and answer the following questions. Just thinking about the answers will give you insight into your ability to quit artfully and restart your life. Do you believe that "winners never quit and quitters never win"? How realistic are you when it comes to setting goals? What matters more: staying the course or exploring new possibilities in life? How much of your sense of self relies on other people's judgments? Do you tend to hang in longer than you should, even when you're unhappy? When you try something new, do you focus on the effort you have to put in or the possibility of failure? Are you a procrastinator or a delayer when it comes to getting things done? How much do you worry about making a mistake? Do you second-guess yourself? How hard is it for you to get over a setback?
