I'm afraid you've missed the point, which is about the psychology of failing 99% of the time. That's not, like, a little hard. It is excruciating. We use words like "persistence" or "learn from your failures" so much that we think we know what they mean; so much, in fact, that they become boring. That confuses repetition with understanding. What's valuable about the OP (and the comments are just reflecting this) is that he put into words a tiny bit of that experience in a way that isn't just repetitive.
