Try , or Try not...Written by Ali shaikh (BSSE)
Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try. There is definitely a try, even if it doesn't lead to a do. And this separates winners from losers more surely than anything else. Trying does not, in and of itself, lead to success, of course. Depending on goal, there are many ways to fail. But not trying surely leads to failure. I was thinking about John Stockton, recently retired Utah Jazz basketball player who typified "trying". He had a lot of talent, of course, so his trying led to success, but he will always be noted for his effort rather than his talent. In thinking about John and giving full effort, I wondered "why doesn't everyone always try"? There is effort involved in trying; an investment of resources, if you will, and so one could argue that not trying when you know you will fail is prudent. But I don't think that's it. Not trying is not a calculated decision, it is emotional. People just don't like to fail. If you don't try, you can always reassure yourself with false comfort that you would have succeeded, if only you had tried. Once you try and fail, that's it. Actually there is a gradient all way from not trying to giving 100% effort. Sometimes people do something in a half-hearted way, and possibly this is their form of "not trying"; they can feel they would have succeeded if they had given full effort, and thereby feel less bad about themselves for having failed.
| | Hard work!Written by Robert J Farey
MAKE A MILLION $ PER MONTH. No work involved. Do it whilst sitting on beach at Maliboo.This may sound a bit extreme but how many adverts have you seen that are similar to it? The trouble is that so many newcomers to internet get taken in by this sort of hype. No wonder that so many get disillusioned and wrap up and go away never to return. It is a real pity that this sort of thing is allowd to happen. If only people would tell truth they would get a far better response to their adverts. Tell it as it is. With right information and a little incentive it is possible to start a business working from home, using nothing more than a desktop computer and something to sell. Starting a business is easy. Earning money from it is a different thing. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work. Just a minute! What do we mean by 'hard work'? Sitting at a keyboard for a couple of hours a day does not sound like hard work to those who are used to physical effort. Never-the-less, If typing was all that was required it would be a doddle. There is more to it than that. For instance: Devising an advertising strategy takes a certain amount of expertise. That is something that average Jack or Jill needs to learn, either hard way from expreience, or much easier way by asking right questions from right people.
