Exactly. When you fall down and fail, whether or not you lean in and try harder again is completely dependent on how hard you will have to work in the future weighed against that goal. If all you want is that goal, and nothing else matters then you'll go after it until you realize whether or not your best is good enough. At that point though, at least you know what your best is.
