Well you can never force someone to believe more in a platform than they believe in themselves. I think that success in life,on Hive, on a job etc depends on the latter. So maybe , and this is just a hunch, the behavior on Hive (persevering vs giving up) only reflects the real attitude of the individual. I find it hard to believe that someone who is resilient in real life will have a slacker attitude on a virtual platform where rewards are involved.
