You Can Quit. We Can Help.

Did anyone notice that that was Nicorette gum's slogan, and then Home Depot stole it? (Or bought it, I dunno.) They changed it to: "You Can Do It. We Can Help." All in all, a pretty great slogan, I think.

But I digress. Megan is talking about how difficult she finds it to quit stuff she's not enjoying anymore. I totally sympathize. I am always a huge rule-follower. Over the past few years, in med school, my time has become infinitely more precious to me, so I've gotten better about quitting, or even better, not even committing in the first place. Life is short, so it's best just to have fun.

On the other hand, some stuff you just have to power through in order to get the desired effect. For example, if you want to have the fun of running a long race, you have to go through the daily training beforehand, even if you consider it utter drudgery. So sometimes it's tough to tell what's a loser and what will ultimately pay off if you show some stick-to-it-iveness.
