Making empty efforts
Oh my God… I wonder what this might mean in light of what I am presently doing… (from Cainer):
One good way to avoid disappointment is to lower expectation. One good way to avoid failure is to banish all thought of success. Many people pursue this policy. It makes them feel very comfortable, even if it does prevent them ever achieving very much. Few born under your sign, though, find this idea very attractive. You far prefer to try, even if you end up falling flat on your face, than to give up without a fight. You half suspect now, that you are making an empty effort. Make it anyhow. You won’t be sorry.
