Summary

This quote emphasizes that when people experience success, they often become more conservative in their thinking. They develop a fondness for the existing state of affairs and resist any potential changes. Success can create a comfort zone, leading individuals to believe that maintaining the status quo is the key to sustaining their accomplishments. This aversion to change can hinder progress and innovation, as people become resistant to new ideas and approaches. It highlights the need for a balance between appreciating success and embracing necessary change for continued growth and development.
