Definitely not everyone succeeds in the first few tries. If you've failed so far, go try again because the longer you wait, the harder it gets to reach one whole bitcoin as the price rises long-term.
I am now trying to find multiple ways to accumulate bitcoin. Trading is a difficult task for me and I wouldn't like losing my precious bitcoins in an attempt to gain more.
Just a quick reminder that you don't really need to straight-off receive bitcoin. You could simply start a typical brick and mortar/online business and simply use the fiat earnings to buy bitcoin. You'd end up with the same goal in the end anyway: more bitcoin.
