I think there is a difference between "quitting", and "changing course following a re-evaluation of goals and abilities". Also, whetehr one is a "quitter" is very much a matter of POV, i.e., who is making the claim. Very often (obviously not the same thing as "always", but simply, "very often"), people tend to paint others with their own qualities - for example, liars claim that nobody ever tells the truth, and backstabbers suspect and accuse everyone else of disloyalty.
In a way, it's "the dark side of the work ethic".
