Getting fired is only a good thing if you're on the path to being a loser. If you aren't, then being fired means you are ruining your current career.

Maybe instead of being fired, you should do something more sensible and ethical: Quit.

It's an incendiary quote (and title), and instinctively counter-intuitive, but the thrust of the article is that "no" can be very instructive and beneficial when you learn from it.

It's through adversity that people grow the most, not when life is going smoothly (although that's when the work gets done).

How is quitting more sensible and ethical? Perhaps John Lasseter (of Pixar) was on the way to being a loser? I for one am glad that Lasseter ruined his career at Disney.

My kids (huge fans of Cars) are happy too. My wallet is not.
