i've been blog hopping when i am supposed to be rushing a group discussion report that needs to be complete by tonight

both entries in both blogs just suddenly caught my attention.

" she blogged,

Try too hard to be happy, you get disappointed.
Try too hard to chase, you fall and it runs away.
Try too hard to win, you'll fail even harder.
Try too hard to be cool is just lame.
Try too hard to be nice is just too fake.
Try too hard to think, you don't get anywhere.
But I think I'll still try
because I don't want to regret not doing anything about it.

he blogged,

the irony is that sometimes the harder you try the harder you'll crash into the wall of failure.
Trying to sleep is one such case,
as is trying to stay awake (in a boring lecture or smth)
trying not to think of the big blue elephant, we already know that doesn't work
trying to write.. sometimes I feel shitty and I try to write, the words just won't flow.
sometimes not trying at all is better.
but ultimately do or do not, the choice is yours."




the thing is how much should one try?
if you tried 20% u might feel that you didn't try hard enough.
but if you tried a 101% and then you fail wont you feel that your world will come crushing down?

when should we stop trying?
and
when do we start trying again?

how much effort do we put in?
how can you make failure not hurt?

i wonder.
