Personal question · Motivation, Resilience

Wanting to quit

Shared goals rarely go to plan. Think about a team, crew, cast or other group you belonged to that hit a setback serious enough to make you want to walk away.

The two questions

  1. 1Tell us about a time you kept working toward a goal with a group after a setback made you want to quit. What kept you going?
  2. 2Describe the point at which you decided it was still worth the effort. How did you make that decision, and would you make it the same way now?
