About your blog heading, I like where you’re going with this “Nothing  
is impossible…” might want to rephrase this in a more positive  
language.

FYI: Nothing doesn’t exist, so it can’t be impossible or possible.

I know it’s possible for you to become a Ruby [DevMentor.org](http://DevMentor.org) one day 😉  
…keep at it, I like what you and other active community members are  
doing to generate value for others.

Hi Rajinder,

Thanks for your motivative suggestion but my opinion about those lines  
follows

Everything is possible – Its hard to say without try it.

Nothing is impossible – I will try and do it.

I simply like second one because i can’t say all are possible without  
TRY.

Hi Rajinder,

```
 If the person done a job then he did that job in first try. Try is 

```

not a dummy word. If the TRY fails, then we need to find a way to solve  
it. Before facing or handling issues how can we say “Everything is  
possible”.

```
 Don't try, just do it! -- Without try we cant do anything

```

You’re welcome Ravenndrean, I look forward to your next set of  
questions!

btw, when you say I will try, sounds like I guess so? Either you do it  
or you  
don’t, why waste your time trying =)

Listen to this life lesson about walking on the street at the open  
(there are 2  
very distinct choices in life):

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/3PycZtfns_U/hqdefault.jpg "Karate Kid Lesson 1 (Wax on Wax off)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PycZtfns_U)

Don’t try, just do it!

Think about ‘try’ and ‘do’ it will come to you =) you will see the  
light!

I realized this, and my last reply was meant to be sent privately but I  
forgot  
to change the email addy before hitting send. I will have to look up the  
Star  
Wars Yoda context 😉

I’m afraid this isn’t the place for a spiritual discussion about the  
intent and power behind the words. Most people will argue semantics to  
death, and will never agree to sit down and explore the spiritual  
mindset created by words.  
The worst thing (which should be the best thing) is that ‘try’ and ‘do’  
are actually mentioned in exactly that context in Star Wars – but no  
one thinks of Yoda as someone who’s actually enlightened…

It’s in episode 5 or 6. Luke is practicing with Yoda, and Yoda tells him  
“Lift your spacecraft out of the mud with the force”. Luke answers that  
it’s impossible, Yoda says that nothing is impossible. Luke says, “I’ll  
try”, and Yoda says something like “There is no ‘try’. Do, or do not.”  
Yoda then proceeds to lift the spacecraft out of the mud with the force,  
of course.
