Facts Leading up to Feb.29 - Try

I forgot an important part of my philosophy in the previous blog that I have lived by since 1972!!

Eliminate the word try from a sentence and it becomes a positive statement.

"I'll try to make it," becomes "I'll make it."

"Try to learn how to ski," becomes "Learn how to ski."

Using the word try is sort of a cop out--it allows you to fail. It is also a word to hide behind as in the first sentence--you know you won't make it and then later you can say that you said you would try without committing yourself.
