Time to Move on

I've been starting to think, as of late, that life and sport may share on of the most important maxims - you have to know when to move on.

In sport, of your'e not shooting well, pass the ball. In life, if your'e bored of your job, perhaps its time to leave. Veteran player not doing doing it anymore? Let him go or trade him away. Girl not returning your phone calls? Plenty more fish in the sea.

Failing to recognise this causes some of the most depressing moments in both sport and life. Rather than getting a little burnt, recognising it and finding a solution, you end up at the very bottom; rebuilding your franchise = rebuilding your life, being embarrassingly bad = feeling embarrassingly bad. Stayed at the same club too long = stayed at the same club too long.

Seems like a positive symmetry. Considering the amount of sport i watch, i really shouldn't make that mistake.
