Why new investors give up too quickly in investing?

I think investing is really close to like planting an oak tree, it takes a long time but the results are going to be magnificent but it’s going to be 50 years; and it throws a lot of people off.

By far, the biggest problem for new investors is not understanding how much time is needed to put the odds of success in [their] favor and it’s not a month, it’s not a year, it’s something closer to five (5) or ten (10) years before [they] start to see [the results of their investments].
