November 3rd...What would you tell a friend who wanted to quit?

I am a firm believer in telling the truth and also that people are going to do what they are going to do regardless. I tend to tell it like it is.

• First I would listen and ask my friend why they wanted to quit? (listen)
• Then, I would validate their reasoning. (I completely understand how you feel)
• I would give my opinion. (I think that..)
• Mentioning that they should think it through and weigh the pros and cons would come next.

Ultimately, it is their decision.

What is that saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink.” Kind of similar.

You can only point out what your opinions are and your own reasoning, then it is up to them and how it effects their lives.
