Today after an unprecedented series of 10 succesive defeats I reached my worst rating peak in the playchess.com server! 1777, ten losses, pieces losses like a patzer... Perhaps they were right saying I started too late... I'm training very hard and the results is that I'm worse than when I started. Perhaps i should give up my too ambitious dream to become a GM.....
If I don't wake up EARLY, it will remain a dream FOREVER...

I know the feeling. It happens, you get into a funk and can't seem to win a game. Take a break for a few days, this typically works for me. Do something else to get your mind off of it. Did any of your losses look as bad as mine? If not you can take solace in that :)
As far as being a GM, I think you will get there. You aren't too old. Hang in there you'll start winning before you know it and in a few weeks you'll be laughing about this post.
Hi Nobis, "Pale Rider" here. I think you should never give up on any dream that's before you. The entire reason a dream is "there" is to chase it. In many cases, the chase is more fun. Consider that.
The only real way to lose and not reach your goals is to give up.
My goal is the World Chess Championship. It's my dream. But I'm only an A-Player with a rating of 1937. I've got a long way to go, but that's okay...I'm enjoying the chase.
