Why do we try so hard?

...does anybody relate to being on the "back foot".

down here in Australia it means you got #&%* stacked up against you.

...but ya just keep on givin' it ya best'

thats how I manage. I love this forum and everyone in it.

take that!

I definitely relate, but here's the easy answer for you - what's the alternative? The choices are either to push on or to give up. I'm sure we've all considered the second option at times, but the fact that we're still here shows that we haven't taken that route. So we just keep doing what we can and let the chips fall where they may.
