Try, Try Again (October 2008...from 365 Lessons Learned)


"No," King Tutankhamun said as he stood decisively on his chair, "I shall not, I cannot, I will not." His sad eyes filled with with his past failures, and I scratched my head trying to figure out a way to get him to write 24 homophones.

Read the word. No.
Write the word three times. No.
Write the word one time. No.
Draw, Define, Web, Search, Paint....No. No. No. No. No!

Torture? Not an option.

So far I'd been having a morning filled with trials and errors. Not one victory. Not one. Talk about an ego shootout.

Training sessions, lessons, and observations run through my mind. What do you do when every answer is "no"? Leave it be or keep trying?

Any normal person would give up. But not us, not me. We are warriors and nothing can bring us down. Not even King Tutankha-whatever.

Never give up. Never keep trying. Try. Try Again.

Lesson Learned: TSW learn that when push comes to shove, you taste what you're made of. You might bend, till you break cause it's all you can take. On your knees, you look up, decide you've had enough. You get mad, you get ,wipe your hands, shake it off then you Stand. (Rascal Flatts, Stand)
