Eh, I think it's a bit much to say "never quit at anything" is some kind of American folk teaching. People have to find what they are good at, and part of growing up is realizing that leading at something in one pool doesn't mean you'll lead at it in a bigger one. Americans wouldn't have managed to do well if they didn't have some recognition of this.
