Learn discernment rather than perseverance. “Don’t quit” is a terrible rule of thumb for life. If you moralize the mismanagement of life’s finite resources, expect to see a lot of dissatisfied people whose zombified ambition doesn’t even afford them a way to properly fail

i understand the sentiment here but i don’t fully agree. perseverance and discernment are not mutually exclusive and i’d even argue that the former is the best way to learn the latter

But the way society teaches or expects somebody to follow perseverance over discernment is what this statement highlights. You are right -both are not mutually exclusive. But society never considers one. One who has used discernment is labeled as looser. That's bad

This starts with school. There's no alternative, so we have to tell kids "don't quit!"

The truth of your adage depends heavily on the stage of development of your audience. Not wise for the immature, inexperienced, or self indulgence of some immature folks at earlier stages of development.

Learning discernment is easy to say, hard to learn, harder to teach.

"zombified ambition"--I like that a lot.
