People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm interested in that thing that happens where there's a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through such hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there's no sign that it's going to get any better, and that's the point when people quit. But some don't.
The people I know who have retired, so many of them lose interest and die; they just become nobodies overnight.
Most of the people I know, their marriages went down the drain, like mine - something I am not proud of.
A lot of people quit looking for work as soon as they find a job.
What has changed is that people have stopped working together.
It used to be that you came out of school, and you got married - those who were going to get married. But my peers are getting married in their early 30s, so now there's like this extra 10 years of that angst.
Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.
I just see too many people retire and say, 'I'm going to take off, travel, spend time with my family' and they are just miserable. They end up dying. People who work and stay active, and like what they are doing, live longer.
Some people are ok with doing nothing all day after they retire, but then some people if they had nothing to do would go mad and start banging their heads against a wall.
If you don't let people flourish in their jobs, why are they going to stay?
