There is small difference in play beetween 1200 and 1500, it all comes on "blunder control", be optimistic and belive that you can, analayse your games and you will improve... If you have 1000 now, there is no chance that you cant get to 1200 with practice.

Yes, but I feel like this is a bit misleading. The difference is small, but it takes quite a lot of practice to form the proper calculation habits that allow you to avoid blunders. Maybe someone who started young wouldn't understand, but this takes a lot of work for adults, partly because it's very tedious, and probably not what made them interested in chess. Adult beginners tend to enjoy strategic ideas and find calculating boring.
When you play under 1500 many players mostly blunder peaces... So not so many long calculating ideas, by my opinion is very important to do adopted puzzles which will help you to improve you tactics skils.
Everyone finds calculating boring... I think that less than 1% players do hard calculating training where they will take half an hour to play one move like in real game... Correct me if I am wrong.
