Topic: Quitting while you are ahead is not the same as quitting

It's different, because you are winning and not just quitting. It might sound the same but it is, in fact, not. Thanks

If you quit whilst you're ahead then by the time everyone else is finished you are no longer ahead. It is so the same thing, dumbass

Retiring as champion, is quitting while you are ahead. There will be another champion but you are not lesser for it

We are, then, speaking about quitting over two different longitudinal scales. If you're unaccomplished otherwise, you're fucked, either way, and that's it.

That's not really quitting while you are ahead then, is it?
