本期内容：
Persistence 1 is important to achieve success, butgiving up is also important. Why is it essential? Whyis it necessary to give up? Because it allows you tofocus your energy on the few things that are trulyimportant by giving up.
Pursuing too many things means giving yourselfunnecessary pressure. Don’t let your ambitionstop you from enjoying your life. Don’t be so busythat you don’t have time for your loved ones. Bygiving up, you ease your burden and free up time tobuild meaningful relationships.
