> Yes. They do. And its not true that it's always the result of hard work (unfair isn't it). But because it can be so easy, sometimes, to get to 100% and so miraculous once it has happened it's tempting to believe that anything less, or more difficult, isn't worth bothering with. In the meantime 50% can still be a huge improvement. If you can get there only by putting in extra effort so what. It's STILL miraculous.
