"Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do"

The quote recommends that prior to attaining success, one is most likely to come across barriers and obstacles, such as short-term defeat and failures. When someone experiences defeat or failure, it prevails for them to want to give up and quit. However, the quote indicates that quitting is not the very best choice, as many men tend to do. Rather, it is required to persevere and overcome the challenges in order to accomplish success.
