The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick)

I have to ashamely say that I read this book at Kinokuniya book store, after a failed attempt to look for a sketch book this afternoon.

If you look at the cover, the part where the _stick man_ stands, is the _dip_, the period when beginner's luck has run out, when things are going tough, when many call it a quit, and cause you to be scarce if you stay on - _which is a good thing_ - when you persevere and take the right steps to ride through the storm, that's when you your efforts will pay off again and the _dip_ turns upside down.

I'm not sure if I'm getting lazy, but nowadays I started to have a good impression with thin books. This book will help you to analyse your current situation, if you are in the dip or in a _cul de sac_, if you should stay on or if you should call it a quit.

Advocating that successful people are not ones who don't quit, but also those who know when to quit. It is alright to call it a quit, the idea is not to waste time and resources on things that will not work, but to focus on areas that will work.

Something that I can relate to, love it.
