'The wise man relies on his efforts, the fool on his hopes.'

Ali Ibne Abu Talib

For zrezvi: often the ones we call "fools" are the only really wise person: they LIVE and honestly many people envy them. Hope, faith and self-loving are for the strong: when the dark moments comes, maybe also without any external help and nothing to grasp at, the only force is in the hearths full of love for life.

For anpl32: I don't agree with is the first quote: in life we should always try, and if the things go wrong try and try again; starting without permitting to fail, generates disease and blocks. But in general, thinking too much about an action or a decision is only a loss of time and energy.

I agree - i've never liked that yoda quote. I think the message it is trying to convey might be "drop your doubts - so if you're going to launch into anything, be confident that you will DO it"....but I agree with you, farfalla294, that trying is the most effective tool we have at our disposal!
