“The reason most people fail instead of succeed is they trade what they want most for what they want at the moment.”
— Napoleon Bonaparte

Simplified Meaning:
People often fail because they choose to satisfy their short-term desires instead of sticking to their long-term goals. Imagine you're saving money to buy a new computer, but you keep spending small amounts on snacks or movies. Each time you choose a snack or movie, you're trading your future computer for a momentary pleasure. In the long run, these small distractions prevent you from reaching your bigger goal. Success typically requires patience and resisting the urge for immediate rewards. To achieve what you truly want, focus on the bigger picture and make daily choices that align with your main objective.
