> because it's far less likely you'll fail ten times in a row. So, keep trying
Stated like that, that sounds like an example of a Monte Carlo fallacy. Sometimes "just keep trying" is not sound advice but wishful thinking.

If the goal was to flip tails in a coin toss, and I said "Keep flipping! You're bound to get tails within ten flips," then there's only a 1 out of 1024 chance that I'd be mistaken.
Success isn't as simple as a coin toss, but sometimes the best strategy is to try all possibilities as quickly as possible. This was how Carmack succeeded, for example.
There is no alternative but to try; best get used to the idea of trying many times before succeeding.
Other advice would be to put your failures up here and accept some (pretty painful) critques. Then OP could learn faster ...
