Vikrmn: CA Vikram Verma
“Treat the time spent with the wrong people as sunk-cost and move on.”
Vikrmn: CA Vikram Verma, Debit Credit of Life: from the good books of accounts

Steven Pinker
“One of the most commonly cited human irrationalities is the sunk-cost fallacy, in which people continue to invest in a losing venture because of what they have invested so far rather than in anticipation of what they will gain going forward.”
Steven Pinker, Rationality
