Effort


"Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will."

Jawaharial Nehru
First Prime Minister of India


"There was nothing I could do" usually means you did nothing, which should not be the same as what you tried to do.

    My focus is on accomplishing whatever it is we set out to do. The only reason I see value in considering why something important did not happen, is to eliminate that as a barrier in the future.
