“…I’m talking about quitting a chosen path to follow a different one. See, when a person does this, he is often labeled as a rebel or a dropout. But, when this person succeeds at this new path, then he or she becomes a role model, a change agent, or an influencer. Crazy, right?”

This TED Talk by millennial Daniela Zamudio offers a fresh perspective on “quitting”—which can also be characterized as cutting one’s losses quickly. She zeroes in on what it takes to find a chosen path, and how a thoughtful and planned approach to leaving paths that aren’t panning out as expected is the best way to achieve personal success.
