I was thinking more along these lines

So that's how you win?

I cannot beat the YH by myself, he's way too strong. But, the same way a sports fan feels good when his team wins, (we won!) I feel good when my team (Team bb) wins. Not sure if that goes against Dov's policy.

Yup, fight of a lifetime. We win some, we lose some.

Amen!

Wrong!

At least for me (and others have told me so as well).
I am interested in sanity.
Fightin' for lifetime doesn't interest me one bit.

That's why now I am not fightin'.
I am not in the rin'.
Heck, I'm not even in the Garden.

Moral of the story:

Don't fight. Surrender! Seek sanity!

We have different stories here. If somebody who doesn't box goes into a ring, he will be destroyed. He can accept that he doesn't box and go do something else. In my story, I'm a boxer in a ring. I don't intend on surrendering, because my circumstances are different.
"Win some lose some" works for me, because in the big picture, my goal is not to have a perfect record as a boxer.
Heck, I may have a losing record, but look at a baseball player who "fails" in 60% of his at bats, but gets a base hit in 40%. He would be considered the best baseball player to have hit in all of baseball over the last 60+ years, a tremendous success. 
 So too, each of my successes are worth so much more than each failure.

So you don't want to be sane?

Back in the 80s there was a businessman furiously typing on his typewriter, drowning in work.

Along comes a salesman to try to sell him the latest thing - a personal computer.

Said the businessman "I can't talk to you now, can't you see how much paperwork I have to get through!"

Nice story, I got your point. My point is really simple: There are many helpful tools that may be of use someday for me. But right now it can hurt more than help. 

The salesman selling the computer said, "Get this, it's gonna make your work much more efficient." The businessman replied "That's great, one day I may buy it. Right now I have no way of getting the money to buy it."

In either case, please don't push that on me anymore. Thank you!
