The Choice to Quit
by Madoka Sawa
Description
Don't lie to yourself.
Don't force yourself.
That is how you expand your possibilities.
After leaving Microsoft.
The things I value in my life
There are things that you don't really want to do and don't need to do, but you don't realize it and continue to do them just because you have done them or because you have been doing them for a long time. That is the "sunk cost" of life. We need to recognize the "sunk costs" that have unconsciously become a burden in our lives, and make the choice to quit. What I want to convey in this book is such simple thinking. Work … Only attend meetings where you can contribute Relationships … Focus on the " happiness of the moment" rather than building connections Things and money… If it's hard to release, then give it away Dreams and goals … Don't push yourself too hard by thinking backwards Quitting is a way to meet a brand new you. You can design your life more freely.
