Stop thinking it takes a certain number of tries.

Particularly if it’s one try.

Maybe it takes one. But maybe it takes a dozen.

Could it possibly take a thousand tries?

Ten thousand?

Doing something a few times and saying, “Well, I tried,” is as good as saying, “I gave up before I figured it out.”

If it’s worth it, don’t stop trying until you get it.

You should probably stop counting the number of tries, too.
