What happens if your idea goes over like a lead balloon? What happens if no one is interested
in your idea? Do you continue to persist and for how long?
While it is always good to be persistent, it is also good to understand when you have to throw in
the towel. No one wins all of the time. It is impossible. When you see that you continue to run
into a brick wall time and time again, it may be time for a change.
It can be tough to give up on a dream. But many successful people have had many dreams that
failed. Even successful corporations have hit upon some real clinkers. They did not give up
and they did not continue pouring time, energy, effort and money into something that wasn’t working.
Sometimes, you just have to see that change is the only option. This works with conflict and
strives as well as it does with bad ideas. If you continue to press and press, you will only anger
yourself. And the angrier you get the more ineffective you become in your communication skills.
