I feel your pain but it's too easy to just quit.

I always think of the Jack Grimm story in these cases, and I am reminded what it means to have perseverance and determination.

Quote:
Getting rich seemed easy at first. The first well he drilled struck oil in Oklahoma, but when he moved to West Texas, his luck changed. After 25 straight dry holes, he was so poor that his telephone service was turned off, a major blow to a man who spent so much time on the phone that he once said he planned to have one installed in his coffin. With two young children to support, Mr. Grimm was on the verge of taking a job, but with his wife's blessing, he tried one more deal. The well came in, and he had phone service from then on.
