I Tried Everything!
Leave a comment »
Sometimes, when somebody is describing a problem they are trying to solve, they say, "I tried everything…and I still couldn’t get it!"
I might say, "Did you go to the library and do some research on this problem?"
"No, I didn’t really have time." they reply.
"Did you drive over to the next town and consult with Mr. Bennett?"
"No — it seemed like a long way to go."
Often, the person with the problem hasn’t really tried ANYTHING…much less everything.
