Just found your series here and started reading. You make some valid points. Failing is easy. All you have to do to fail is give up.

succeeding is hard. If it was easy to be successful we would all be rich. Remember the1% rule. To be successful you might have to write 100 articles just to get that one that explodes.

You might have to look at 100 companies before you find the one that is right for you.

So many people give up before they even begin. The go out and try something new and get turned down by people and even by family members and after being rejected a few times they just give up.

Be patient and enjoy the journey.
