As the saying goes "We do this not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy."
Occasionally these are starts of great things.
Sometimes, we do such things because it’s hard. We enjoy the challenge. Those that succeed are glad to make it, too.
but most times, even in such cases, people underestimate or not estimate at all the "hard task they do as a challenge" it's kinda part of the whole thing
