I subscribe to the Edision Philospohy:
"Young man, why would I feel like a failure? And why would I ever give up? I now know definitively over 9,000 ways that an electric light bulb will not work. Success is almost in my grasp." And shortly after that, and over 10,000 attempts, Edison invented the light bulb.

Now THAT is trying hard. Not sure I could've gone THAT long!
