i am a good resource for people thinking about quitting their phone (to regain control of your attention), or quitting their job (to regain control of your time and bet on yourself).

which is weird because quitting is the opposite of persistence, and i consider persistence to be one of my greatest strengths. so it's sort of ironic. but it can also be reconciled.

persistence is invaluable when you are persisting on the right things but persisting on the wrong things is one of the worst mistakes you can make.

for example, if peter thiel persisted in law he would be a lawyer, not the peter thiel you know. i would be an investment banker.

the hard part is knowing what's right vs. wrong. you can always do some logical analysis, but this is where faith comes in.

this is why "keep going" can be some of the best or worst advice, because it completely depends on the context.

that is true for a lot of the super short-form advice you see on X, it's totally context dependent as to whether it's good or bad.

you have to think for yourself.
