Early in our marriage my wife did not agree with that philosophy. I insisted and it's one of the few battles I have won My children are not permitted to quit, even if I have to drag them kicking and screaming.

That's our rule too. Saturday is my son's last soccer game for the season (and probably for life). He would have quit 2 months ago.
