This makes me very happy, Eric. Trying is the most important part of doing. I'm not a big believer in not trying even if I already know I can't do something. Even a blind dog finds a bone once in awhile so if I never try because I will not "do" then... Well, heck with it. Just got to keep on trying even after I've gone and done.

Aaron, thanks much. I tried.

Jimmy, thanks much. But on that show, I'd be Trump.

Yes but your "try" is another man's "do". You may think you are trying, but you are doing. In my opinion, based on my own experience, when most people say try, what they really mean is do not. I think that's who Yoda had beef with.

Remember when Luke was trying to raise the ship out of the water? When Yoda did it, Luke said " I don't believe it." And that's the key I guess. How could he "do" when he didn't even think it was possible in the first place?
So he was just trying.
Then Nike ripped that off.

Eric, I commend you. If you were on the Apprentice and I was Trump, I would hire you first show in and then just fire everyone else. It would be the shortest season ever.

There's too much of an obsession with winning in America. Sometimes loss or losing can be the thing you learn from most. I know my failures taught me a lot more how to do something, and in cuture in particular I think everyone should be permitted to fail - cause that sometimes happens when you try for something new. I don't know, I dig this post... I think trying is a-ok.
