The fictional master/philosopher has it right when it comes to Jedi training, but as a guideline to live real life, it creates false expectations, most of the enterprises we embark on are not individual efforts, this is more evident in areas like work and relationships, this two activities take the lion share of our awake time and the failure and success of both depend on factors beyond our reach.
Sometimes "I'll give it a try" is realistically the best thing we can do, now, knowing that and accepting it is not the same thing, and the main reason is that it's depressing to feel a complete lack of control on issues that are important to you.
Being successful at your job requires a team effort, and then it is your sole responsibility to demonstrate you are an integral part of that success... Having friends and/or a relationship with someone special requires that the other person is willing to meet you half way, it doesn't matter how nice and good you are to them, if they don't want to your efforts will be wasted, "like tears in the rain".
