Greetings trdcpa 
Pardon my deployment of the hackneyed cliche with the salient reminder, one never fails until one gives up trying. Or how about, whilst there's life there's hope!
I'm certainly one to invoke the repetition until rote practice mantra, but in my opinion, if not temperamentally naturally inherent, the personal quality of [u]tenacity[/u] or 'stick-to-it-iveness' is something [u]even more important[/u] many may need to work on equally if not even harder.
Armed with that awareness and sufficient will, a different approach with hard work may take you there. Unsurprisingly, same old is likely to affect,....the same result.
[br]You've come to a good place to maximise your opportunity for achievement of your ambitions. All the best with your reboot hopes and dreams!
