I'm not disagreeing.

And what *I* have been saying is that when you repeatedly try to do 
things and are greeted only with failure, it makes it really, *really* 
hard to remain positive.

Most people fail sometimes, and succeed sometimes. Unfortunately, I fail 
almost *all* the time. This is extremely depressing.

(That's probably why I get so hyperactive on the rare occasions where 
something actually works...)
