The Importance of Trying To try or not to try? When faced with an opportunity, everyone may ask himself this question. Those who choose to try will do great things every day while those who think they can’t accomplish the task will get nothing done; such is said in C. Rossetti’s poem “I’ll Try”. We have to try.
Trying is the only way to success. Throughout the ages, all those who had achieved something were those who were trying. Thomas Edison tried more than 8000 materials for the right filament for the invention of the electric lamp. He eventually brought the light of electricity to mankind. That is the light of trying. Imagine if Edison denied himself in the first place, declared that “I can’t”, and did not even make a smallest attempt to find the right filament, we might be still living in the dim light of the kerosene lamps.
Our potential is infinite. As long as we try, we have a chance of success. Those who say “yes” to a possibility will eventually get one. We can’t afford to say no to ourselves.
To try or not to try, that is not the question. Trying, is not a choice; it is a must.
