Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich, said one of the most common causes of failure is quitting when overtaken by temporary defeat.

For example, during the gold rush, a young man and his uncle drilled for gold for months on end. Then, they gave up, and sold their equipment to the "junkman" who found out they were only 3 feet away from striking gold.

Everybody faces temporary defeats in the game of life. But if you don't quit and keep standing, success is closer than you think.
