Is it ever okay to be a quiter?

I realized that it is sometimes okay to be a quitter. It usually depends on the situation. For example, it is not acceptable to quit on something like your hope and dreams. However, on a situation that may risk your life, it is a good idea to quit. Usually, people take this the wrong way and quit when things get tough. What they don't realize is that one can learn from things that happen in their lives. That is not a good time to quit. In The Fighting Ground, Jonathan escaped with the little boy in his arms, he had no idea of where he was going but he did not give up. "He kept walking, cradling the boy in his arms. His muscles ached but he continued" (page 127) He ended up finding the corporal who promises to help him. Either way, I truly believe that it is sometimes okay to be a quitter.
