   Hello there soni, interesting question but i think its quite simple
   They can be having trouble when its an 'uphill battle' as the struggle and strength and determination they would have to go through to go 'uphill' is hard enough. Try climbing mount everest and you'll know exactly what i mean.
   Also when saying 'it went downhill from there', there is also a problem here as once after all that hard work it falls apart and goes downwards it becomes a waste and all of it just gets worse and worse as it goes down, the positives all soon turned into negatives etc.
   Well thats just my view anyways lol
   I hope i have helped and be sure to keep yabbing =)
