attempt

Every time we try, we expect a specific result. But what happens when we don't try hard enough? We get results like these.

Life is a series of attempts and failures punctuated by a few successes. Here's to those sad and ironic attempts that just didn't make the cut.

These people all tried their best. However, life has a way of reminding us that sometimes our best is still not good.

These people and things tried. They really tried. Did they try hard? Absolutely not. But what's important is that that they ended up looking dumb.

Attempts are drawn toward failure like a magnet. In these cases, you can't say these people and animals didn't try. Could they have tried harder? Maybe.

People try every day. They try to make things. They try to make something of themselves. They try to seem smart. They try to send a box of meat in the mail. And every day many of these attempts are met with the crushing blow of failure.
