I remember being a big lover of red alert 2 when I was 13-15. I generally played on easy mode and never really stretched myself. One day I reached the final mission and really got my ass whooped. Like getting overrun and desperately clicking around while losing everything. That feeling was horrific, terrible - it was the first time I experienced losing so badly and being so overwhelmed. I couldn't play the game for a month after that - I'd just be scared of that mission, of losing control again. Finally after 4-5 weeks I gathered up my courage and sat down to try it again. This time, I played with more focus and attention - I somehow hung on through the endless attacks and surprises. I managed to scrape through and finished the mission. It was an amazing life experience, one that really motivates me to push on when things seem hopeless and desperate. Just give it one more try, even if you'd most likely lose - there's always a chance you can scrape through :)
