This is so true. It is HARD to succeed, extremely hard sometimes. My old job got bought out and everyone was terrified they would be unemployed.
It ultimately happened, but I had transferred and then took a job in a different field to learn a new skill.
I ultimately sucked at it due to the assigned area being so hard, especially for someone that had never done anything like that before.

I ultimately did not make it in the new field, but it was worth the experience.

Attitude is everything and, though the chance of succeeding might seem slim it would be reduced to zero if one does not stick their neck out and give it a shot.

Thank you.
