Try again. Really!. This widely used method (that you know well) has been called different names to sell books or to approach problems in diverse areas, and is even a widely used

programming method. But the core of it is to try, and to re-try if you don’t succed. This is older than the self help industry, its in our genes and carved in our mammal brains. You learned to walk using it (and a thousand more skills even if you didn’t even think about it as a method). But it is not trivial as many won’t even try when it comes to fuzzy skills like team leadership, patience, constancy [not sure of your meaning - we don't use constancy usually, do you mean consistency?], self-control or even having more will-power. If you are afraid to try (eg. to talk in public, to approach that your-want-to-be-special other, to learn how to ski, etc.) then you need to overcome your fears (it will make life more interesting).

For sure you have plenty of examples of success after many tries. In my case, one of the most remarkable is quitting smoking. I left the nasty cigs 4 times in 6 years before I got the – hopefully- final quit about a year ago, and did it thanks to the experience I got from the previous quits, where I used different methods and motivations.

So today I want to add another try again success by starting to write frequently again for the blog.

Now, the question is: what do you want to try (or try again) today?
