First, a conversation with my Dutch colleague.

Me: I just had a huge insight. Huge.
Dutch: What is it?
Me: You know how people always say quitting is the easy way out? Well, it’s not. Quitting is really hard.
Dutch: Yes. Who says quitting is easy?
Me (sheepishly): They just say so.
Dutch: Who’s they?
Me: People.
Dutch: They’re wrong. Quitting is not easy.
Me: I know!

Then, my two lessons:

1. Quitting is not easy.
2. Huge insight may not be so huge.
