Looking for an Idiom
Hi, I'm looking for an idiom with the following meaning:
Sometimes you won't have a new beginning unless you give up.
In case that there isn't such a idiom in English, will you please polish this one?
An example of the use of this idiom:
A person who does not do well in a certain industry is trying very hard to improve the performance. But another person suggests him/her quit that industry and find a job in an industry that is more relevant to his/her experience. The person who makes the suggestion says:
Sometimes you won't have a new beginning unless you give up.
Sometimes you won't have a new beginning unless you give up.
In case that there isn't such a idiom in English, will you please polish this one?

Two idioms: cut your losses / start from scratch.
Though Harry had always wanted to be a chef, he had ended up as a grade school teacher. He tried his best but was not being promoted. A friend suggested that he should cut his losses and start from scratch in cooking school.
