Failure is not the mother of success; it doesn't automatically bring success on its own. What truly drives human growth is continuous attempts and the feedback that results from them. It's the positive feedback from success that reinforces behavior, not failure itself. Therefore, if something continuously makes you feel pain, frustration, and provides no effective feedback, stopping it is not giving up—it's a rational form of self-renewal. Blind persistence often stems merely from sunk cost fallacy, not because the path is truly correct. Human energy and cognition are limited systems; continuously inputting without outputting and clearing only creates burden, like a computer's memory slowing down when filled with useless data. Growth is not endless accumulation, but a cycle of input, processing, output, and elimination. Only when you begin to express, practice, and output can you truly know which things have become part of you.
