What works for me is accepting that my idea is out there doing it's thing (even if someone else stole it). On a plus side, if things go dramatically wrong, the fingers aren't going to point at me.

That's very zen but the fourth-fifth time you win the let's-outsmart-nature game but someone else walks away with the prize, it's frustrating.

There has to be SOME success in between failures. There has to be some recognition of success. Otherwise one goes mad.
