It is awesome! I enjoyed "In defense of try" and the responses. It made me take a look at my precepts about try. My realizations about try are as follows: 1. I totally agree that you have to look at the intention behind the word. The word "try" can be used as a cop out, or a sincere effort to perform, And the key is to see the intention behind what is being said to find the meaning. 2. I also realized that "try" is about competency level. Assuming that the intention is sincere, if you are embarking on a new endeavor without prior knowledge, using the word "try" can be about courage. It can say, "This is new for me and I am going to give this my best effort to be successful. However, since it is new, I'm not sure of the result, but I will have the courage to "try"." At this level it is a beautiful courageous move toward competency, certainty and knowledge. As you move up the competency scale, "I'll try." is used leas asnd the terminology moves more towards "I will!" Thank you for this insight. Dawn Lewis Hi Jayne,

When I first read the article the other day I had to go away and have a think about how I use the word or interpret it when others use it. My conclusion is that it is a very "context" specific word. When I saw how the US Basketball team used it I took that as a humble acknowledgement that they were there to win. Given all the hype they had to contend with I also saw it as a smart PR move so as not to "distance" themselves from the other US athletes as occured at other Olympics. If my children use the word "try" I see that as an opportunity to let them experience something new but with the knowledge that I am there should they need assistance or reassurance. If an employee or co-worker uses "try" then I am usually on the lookout for an opportunity for improvement in either the process or outcome of the task. For me personally I very rarely use the word 'try" as I prefer to "do". That does not mean I get it right every time but it means I am committed. Thanks again for a helpful article.

If my victim energy or saboteur energy is present I will see myself using the "oh I'll try" words, this has me personally playing small and holding back. When I am playing full on acting thru my empowering energy's I would never here this word. For me it came down to understand what energy the word came associated with, for everyone obviously it will be different. For the basketball team we can see it is attached to commitment. By understanding our own language not as right or wrong but does it empower us or does it have us playing small. Then what is my commitment to play the game of my life full on. Hi Jane

If my victim energy or saboteur energy is present I will see myself using the "oh I'll try" words, this has me personally playing small and holding back. When I am playing full on acting thru my empowering energy's I would never here this word. For me it came down to understand what energy the word came associated with, for everyone obviously it will be different. For the basketball team we can see it is attached to commitment. By understanding our own language not as right or wrong but does it empower us or does it have us playing small. Then what is my commitment to play the game of my life full on. Hi Jane

When I first read the article the other day I had to go away and have a think about how I use the word or interpret it when others use it. My conclusion is that it is a very "context" specific word. When I saw how the US Basketball team used it I took that as a humble acknowledgement that they were there to win. Given all the hype they had to contend with I also saw it as a smart PR move so as not to "distance" themselves from the other US athletes as occured at other Olympics. If my children use the word "try" I see that as an opportunity to let them experience something new but with the knowledge that I am there should they need assistance or reassurance. If an employee or co-worker uses "try" then I am usually on the lookout for an opportunity for improvement in either the process or outcome of the task. For me personally I very rarely use the word 'try" as I prefer to "do". That does not mean I get it right every time but it means I am committed. Thanks again for a helpful article.

It is awesome! I enjoyed "In defense of try" and the responses. It made me take a look at my precepts about try. My realizations about try are as follows: 1. I totally agree that you have to look at the intention behind the word. The word "try" can be used as a cop out, or a sincere effort to perform, And the key is to see the intention behind what is being said to find the meaning. 2. I also realized that "try" is about competency level. Assuming that the intention is sincere, if you are embarking on a new endeavor without prior knowledge, using the word "try" can be about courage. It can say, "This is new for me and I am going to give this my best effort to be successful. However, since it is new, I'm not sure of the result, but I will have the courage to "try"." At this level it is a beautiful courageous move toward competency, certainty and knowledge. As you move up the competency scale, "I'll try." is used leas asnd the terminology moves more towards "I will!" Thank you for this insight. Dawn Lewis Hi Jayne,

When I use the word try it is backed with the intent to try until its done, usually I'm not sure how I will get it done or maybe I know I am missing some knowledge, but know within myself that I will gain clarity and get it done after trying what ever it takes to do it. my intention energises the try to a done. I can remember when I was playing sport and I would shoot a long shot and someone would make a comment that it was a fluke to make the shot, and I always would reply, no its not a fluke, I tried to make the shot. I think that people who question those who say they will try, maybe used the term try to brush someone off themselves. usually you can feel if a person is backing up their try with desire . thanks again, Kind Regards Jayne Mason Hi Jayne
