Well, I guess everyone has his/her own philosophy of life. Mine, the journey; yours, the destination. I guess I just don't see the benefit of discouraging someone from doing something just because it's hard. What about the joy of overcoming a challenge or accomplishing something you thought you couldn't. The truth is, everybody's 'destination' is going to be the same, so you might as well make the best of the journey.
