Answer - a little umph! I heard this yesterday on the Chris Evans BBC2 radio show and I loved it, it became my mantra for the day. Don't just try to do something, give it a little oomph and make it happen.
Often when I'm giving some advice to a client they'll say "I'll try and do it" or "I'll give it a try". Whenever someone says they will "try" something, I know it's not going to happen because they are not committed to it. So I'll say to them something like "try and pick up that pen for me please". Of course, they pick up the pen and I tell them "no, you picked it up, I only want you to try and pick it up."
This usually causes a bit of confusion, until they get it. You can either "try" or you can "do". So today I'm adding a good dash of umph to my tri -ing and enjoying lots of triumph. You might want to try, no sorry, do it too!
