It's worth a try

If you never try to do something about life, how would you know that it is worth a try or not?
If you never try to meet success, how would you know if you might succeed or fail in the end?
If you never try to make a conversation, how would you know if it might turn out to be the most memorable conversation you ever had?
If you never try to actually stand up for yourself and others to say what you want, how would you know that if you have made a change?
IF you never try to do something new and step out of your comfort zone how would you know if you are going to learn something new from it?
If you never try to take a leap of faith, how would you know that you are going to get it in the end?
IF you never go and try to climb that mountain, how would you know the air up above is fresh and clean?
If you never try to embrace change how would you know if you will like that change and make a comfort zone out of it?
See? Everything has to be tried before you know it. If you don’t try you will never know. If you try and you know it then you might at least tell yourself that you have tried doing it before and how you think about it. When you never try to do something about life, you will never get to know the experience and the feeling of trying it. It may be necessary to do it instead of trying, but still, if you don’t try how you would know what is going to come out of it?
There is a saying from where I come from which is “You’ll never know if you never try.”  In Malaysian way we say “Never try never know, sekalie try then you know.” IT’s basically the same thing but just the Malaysian way of saying it. Yes, I know we Malaysian people have our funny way of speaking because we always mix languages together. That is why you have the Malaysia-English language.
Anyways, back to the title and enough of my Malaysian story… Ha ha... Everything is worth giving a shot. You never know what the outcome of the trying is or what the result could be like so everything is worth trying. BUT I am not saying that taking drugs and smoking or going against the law is worth trying. I mean they are some things that are worth trying and some things that you don’t even think that you want to try. Please do not misunderstand the message here.
Just think to yourself before trying or doing something. Is it worth it? Is all of the trying is worth doing it or it will just corrupt the future that you are going to have?
