Why Most People Quit Before Success: The Truth About Temporary Defeat

“Before success comes in any man’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to QUIT. That is exactly what the majority of men do.” Page 13 Chapter 1 "Think and Grow Rich."

Setbacks are a natural and expected part of the process when striving for success. These are not permanent states but rather temporary hurdles. When faced with these challenges, the most common and seemingly logical response is to give up. This reaction is due to the immediate discomfort and discouragement that setbacks cause.

Most people tend to quit when they encounter obstacles. This tendency is driven by a desire to avoid pain, disappointment, and the effort required to overcome difficulties.

True success is achieved by those who persist despite failures and defeats. Those who continue to push forward, learn from their setbacks, and adapt their strategies are the ones who ultimately succeed.
