This is a maxim that I tried to live by. And whether I succeed or fail it does not matter to me anymore. What's more important to me now is that in everything I do I commit myself fully and leave no regrets.
So I keep trying even if things don't work out. A least I tried, better than doing nothing all.
A man came upon a little bird lying on its back, with its feet in the air. "Little bird," said the man, "what are you doing?" "Can't you see, the sky is falling and I'm trying to hold it up with my feet," responded the little bird. "That's ridiculous," the man replied. "You can't hold the sky with your little feet." The bird looked at him directly and said, "I do what I can."A driver from Benguet found himself languishing in jail in Saudi Arabia. His service truck had developed mechanical trouble and accidentally killed a man. A court sentenced him to death, but the family of the victim was willing to accept "blood money" in exchange for his freedom.
When they learned of his plight, pupils of an elementary school in Mankayan, Benguet decided to skip their mid-morning snacks. They pooled their stipends to help raise the amount.

The lesson of the story is, that I keep trying even if things don't work out. At least I tried, better than doing nothing. So unless I make an effort to learn, how can I expect to know.
