I grateful for my existence because I can even try something that looks impossible to solve.
The percentage of success may be really low, but I think if I work very hard, then I may achieve success.
I can decide whether to try or not.

I am always so impressed with your philosophic mind, Saku. And you have the gift of saying a lot in just a couple sentences.
Little corrections: You write "I thank to my existence"; we would probably write "I am thankful for my existence" or "I am grateful for my existence", or maybe, more informally, "I am glad I exist, because..."
And probably "if I work very hard".
"Weather" is one of those aggravating words called a homonym, where there are two words that sound precisely alike but that are spelled different and mean different things. (Spellcheck is notorious for not catching these). You want the spelling "whether".
And probably "whether to try" (or "whether I will try"; whether to try is more usual in this case, I think.)
I hope your studies go well--and that you have more fun!
Weather - I knew this word is about the sky, but I made a mistake...
I guess, I have to reread carefully my post after I did spell check.
You are right, "weather" is about the sky and rain and all, while "whether" is hard to define; it's kind of a transition word. English is full of these homonyms. When I was a little girl I took great pride in learning them (like pair, pear, and pare: pair is two things, pear a fruit, pare a way of cutting or trimming something--but you likely know all these). I still miss them in spell check though myself, if I am typing something long.
