Sometimes quitters do win, actually.

And sometimes winners quit.

A gambler quitting while they're ahead fits that description. Or just quitting gambling in general.

If you're doing something bad, quitting is good. Like smoking. Or a furious masturbation addiction.

It's also the main application of the Sunk Cost Fallacy. If you've invested heavily into something but are losing, quitting can allow you to cut your loses, redirect your time and resources elsewhere, and then win by other means. But if you refuse to quit because you've already thrown so much into your attempt, and just keep feeding the beast, you still lose but now have lost so much more than you otherwise would have.

If you're sticking your metaphorical dick into a metaphorical blender, the optimal response is to stop doing that, not to double down and hit the puree button.

Quiting contest. Who can quit first, who can quit the most things. Use your imagination.

You quit running a race and the bridge was out so if you'd kept going you'd run off the edge.
