The most sabotaging word in the English language \u2013 and therefore in the Battle of the Bulge \u2013 is the word TRY. The implicit possibility of failure is always there. You\u2019ve left yourself a loophole and somewhere in the back \u2013 or the front \u2013 of your mind, you may hear a little voice saying, \u201cYou might not \u2013 you will not \u2013 do you really think you are going to \u2013 make it.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are other words and phrases that you can use instead of \u201ctry\u201d that have a positive association to them. Eliminate the word \u2018try\u2019 from your vocabulary; and substitute the words \u2013<\/p>\n
