Commitment<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

           Some words are very predictive of outcome. The word ‘try’ for example has always told me the outcome has a 50\/50 chance of success, at best.<\/span><\/div>\n
          When I had two teenage daughters and asked them to be home by midnight, I knew the outcome would not be favorable if they said, “We’ll try our best, Dad.” I could only be assured they’d be home on time if they said, “Yes, we’ll do<\/i> that.”<\/span><\/div>\n
          John F. Kennedy didn’t say, “We’ll try to go to the moon” and if he had, failure might have been acceptable….at least they ‘tried’. <\/span><\/div>\n
          Kennedy said, “We choose to go to the moon.” He made a commitment. And America did land a man on the moon.<\/span><\/div>\n
          The dictionary says to ‘try’ is “to taste, sample, test or make an effort”.<\/span><\/div>\n
          Testing and trying often fail where commitment succeeds.  Commitment causes us to do all of the ancillary things necessary to see a project or effort succeed.<\/span><\/div>\n
          Trying simply becomes a self full-filling prophecy when it fails. Commitment makes the occasional failure a valuable learning experience. <\/span><\/div>\n
Watch your words, for your words become your thoughts and your thoughts become your actions.<\/span><\/div>\n
