Try
(page 6)
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
If you want to be original just try being yourself, because God has never made two people exactly alike.
When I was in college, I was debating to try my hand at show business, or to become a professor. I just thought of the risk of not going into show business and always wondering if I would've had a chance. Because that's where my real heart was.
Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.
You can say we're trying too hard or that we didn't try hard enough, but we're not trying at all; we're just doing what we do.
Unfortunately, we can never truly know if we're making the right decision. What we do know is that wherever we are, that's where the Light wants us to be. It's the best place for us to be now. And as long as we don't try to control the situation, then we won't end up in the place we shouldn't be.
If you are afraid of being lonely, don't try to be right.
When I want to understand what is happening today or try to decide what will happen tomorrow, I look back.
Just try new things. Don't be afraid. Step out of your comfort zones and soar, all right?
I try to explain to people that the only way to be cool is to be who you truly are, and the only way to live life is to do the things that you want to do and be the person that you want to be no matter who that is or what that is or how you have to do it. That's the only way you can be genuinely happy.
When I turned 11, my dad decorated a room at the Standard hotel in Los Angeles in a '60s, Austin Powers style. There was human bowling: You run inside a giant inflatable ball and try to knock down pins. To this day, adults say it was one of the craziest parties they've ever been to.
I try not to look too far ahead. I'm more about living day to day and working hard. I think it's great to visualize a dream, but it's more important to make it come true with your efforts.
I'm convinced that probably everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. It's just one more reason to always try to be kind.
Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.
I can take an opinion, but I don't like when you try and spew hate and contaminate the way other people think. I feel like I'm one of the people that's always made music for the common man. That's why I don't really live my life the way I could. I don't stunt as much as I could stunt, 'cause that's not who my music is for.
I try to understand place on a deeper level than just the physical or environmental aspects. It includes cultural and intellectual forces, too. It's an inclusive approach that brings in many disciplines and sees place as a dynamic thing.
There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.
I am trying to do the best work I possibly can and making movies that will have resonance for years to come. I think if you try for an Oscar or a goal like that, the more people are going to see it as transparent. It's not on my radar. If it happens, great, but I'm happy to continue working as I am, really.
Occasionally I get fed up, going to visit a factory, when I am being shown around by the chairman, who clearly hasn't got a clue, and I try to get hold of the factory manager, but I can't because the chairman wants to make sure he's the one in all the photographs.
If companies don't think systemically enough — if they try to capture too much of the value — eventually, innovation moves somewhere else.
