Applying vs. trying...

It's a strange concept for some... but there is a difference between applying yourself and trying to do something.

I tried to explain to someone the difference... the best I could do was hold one hand out to the right emphasizing applying, my other hand to the left emphasizing trying...

I applied psychology, sociology, even adult influence to affect the situation.  But I truly tried to explain the reality of the situation and felt I got a little farther...

I guess that means honesty and reality checks go a bit farther than conceptual ideas, at least in this one limited experience.  I wonder if it can be applied to other situations?  It would need a lot more research, a bit of funding, and a bit of asking questions of previous generations.

All I will promise you... is that I will try to do my best for you!  Regardless of the situation!  And I might even apply some education and experience too!


Peace!
