From my perspective, I wouldn't say people are less committed, but they face considerable challenges today. To begin with, the modern world has many distractions, making it quite challenging to stay focused. In contrast to the past, we have more choices, which can challenge our priorities. Nevertheless, many people still achieve long-term goals by learning to adapt to changing circumstances. Overall, I can say that the commitment is there, but it requires a great deal of effort to maintain focus today.
