Some things are worth not enjoying right away (Destiny)

Haven't you done anything in life that was really challenging, perhaps no fun at all at first, only to then reap the benefits and enjoyment of that work later? There is so much of life that works this way!

No actually. I learned how to salsa over the past year. It was really hard at first, and it was a challenge, but that was actually FUN. I can't think of a time when starting an activity that I was bad at that I didn't find the act of learning it fun.

As a former avid Lindy-Hop/East Coast Swing enthusiast, why did you go with Salsa instead of some other dance? I took a Salsa lesson or two, but I didn't pursue it. Was that because it wasn't fun? No, but it wasn't fun enough, or more fun than the other dances.

In games, there are few times where I hate a game so much that I'd rather be, say, giving my cat a bath. Instead, what I really mean is that the game isn't nearly as fun as any number of other games I'd rather be playing.
