When to Give Up

Caught up with a friend of mine who was in a similar life-situation, but a little more motivated.

The life situation of "how the fuck do you live life".

He provided me the following thought experiment about when to give up on something you believe is right:

If you were teaching your child how to walk, and at first he doesn't get it, do you give up?

Startups aren't exactly the same, but it was a good analogy.
