Young people, I have a book for you to read
Okay, everyone should read this-solace if you're old, hope if you're middle aged and if you're young? Rebounders by Rick Newman explains how plans work out in life and what you can do about that. 😉
I'm a little over halfway through listening, and there are several examples of people catching clues that (insert plan or life choice here) is not really working out for them and, to a certain extent, how they figured out what would. There have been businessmen, athletes, that pandora guy, a musician and an urban renewal person so far, so the field is varied.
I say "to a certain extent" because a couple of times, it looks like blind luck these people stumbled on the thing that worked out, which sort of is and isn't the point. The point is that they all kept going until something worked and that they all had a specific set of traits that the author came to associate with very resilient people ... or, rebounders. Knowing when to quit is actually one of those traits, which may come as a surprise to people who think "quitters never win."
