Part of the fun of success is challenge, difficulty, pain, suffering, fear, "Per Angusta Ad Augustus". [Auckland Grammar School motto, where I believe they still teach latin, which I suppose means through anguish to the august heights of humanity, occupied at one time by Augustus himself].

If something is too easy, like catching a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest, then it's no big deal and the achievement seems hollow.

Limtex is enjoying a lot of pain and suffering and when QCOM finally succeeds [even more than it already has, which has been phenomenal and one of history's great achievements], he will feel great happiness.

Great Britain during the Blitz was not demoralized. It was strengthened. War veterans had the time of their lives [those not dead or too maimed] and their wives had to tell them not to go on about the war for decade after decade. Working dawn to dusk in the clerical department in some government office is no doubt a very suffocating feeling by comparison.
