Victory According to Seth Godin

"Concentration and mental toughness are the margins of victory."
                                                                                         -Bill Russell
          As a student in college we are exposed to many different projects; whether they be writing papers, a project for class, or a group project that you need to work together with someone else that you dont necessarily agree with. Seth Godin says that the key is to know when to end the project. From the get go you have to either decide victory to finish it or declare defeat. 
           This mentality is important because it is what gets you through the project. It's also important to know when to quit, if you don't realize that you're over your head then he says "you'll merely end up trapped" in the same project without the ability to move on. So whatever the choice is make it, because without an end in sight then the only person thats suffering is you.

People just showed up and decided to protest against the big bankers on Wall Street. In my anthropology class last semester one person went to visit the protest every day of the week. He said that the protesters were only strong on the weekend when hundreds of people showed up. However during the week only twenty or so people showed up
