It's not a surprise, so don't be

It's not just hard, but sometimes impossible to try to get what you want, coz you know there is no chance that's gonna happen.

Personally, you go on and on and on...and you know, this is something which wont work. But, you still keep trying till your physically and mentally exhausted. That's very human, we have this thing called hope ;-) which can misguide us.

In business, a call center guy makes a lot of sales calls and makes no sale, they say "those guys are just trying to sell the product without having any belief that the product is worth it and can make a difference to their customers". I remember, I gave a presentation (basically, a sales pitch) to an audience where my boss was sitting like a decoy, after the presentation got over, he said "You were all pumped up when you were explaining about the product, but in the last slide where you announced the price of the product, your enthusiasm drained and it felt like you were not convinced with the slide/price"...All i have got to say "He was correct, how can I sell a product which I would never wanna buy". (Just statistics, I was probably the best sales person in the office ;-)).

In such times, it's good to accept and move on, even if you made the sale, it was not the kind of sale you wanted...eventually you just need to let go. It's not a surprise, so don't be ;-|.
