No, you will never make it. More likely you brake it and all the crappy chess pieces fall on you.

But you will never make it.

I'd set more modest goals. My goal was to reach 1400 (I was as low as 900 a year ago), to become a "C" player (I've been up and down around that mark since attaining it, but I switched to 1. d4). Now my goal is to reach 1600. Then, if I make it, 1800. Why not simply set more realistic goals, such as getting to 2000 in steps? Then, if you get there, you can set higher goals.
