The word "try" has no place in the mind of a positive thinker. Like you. You will not hear a leader use the word while communicating a vision or setting direction.
I have been thinking of this word and listening how often it comes up in casual talk. When you pay attention, you will agree it starts to sound like an excuse or foreshadowing an excuse. I believe you will accomplish more by simply eliminating the word from your vocabulary. Try do this:
- I will try to _____. Replace with - I will_____
- I tried. Replace with - I learned
- Try, try again. Replace with - learned, succeed
- Nice try = you failed, what next.
- They are going to try and steal our client = stop them. They are or they are not based on your action.
Next time you use the word or hear it out of someone else's mouth, skip or replace the word. Every time, it will put you in a different mindset. Your new talk will create vision. You will inspire.
