No! I don't like quitting. I admire people who are persistent.
Even if you've heard the line, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER QUIT, there are just things in life that we should turn away from.
Here are 50 things you should quit in your lifetime. (Relationships, Health, Finance, Job, Business, Investing)

QUIT...
(1) a job that takes too much attention or doesn't leave time for your family
(2) work that forces you to compromise... morally
(3) careers or activities you are not good at
(4) work that won’t fulfill your financial responsibilities no matter how good you do
(5) a dead end job – quit eventually. The promotion is probably outside.
(6) a project that does not end
(7) from a company without any direction
(8) your boss if you won't learn anything from him
(9) doing something you don’t enjoy (or something that won’t bring any reward in the end)
