I think the post was a deliberate attempt to overcome that psychology, the issue is you can get stuck in these loops of “trying to try” and convincing yourself that you did enough, this is tricky because it’s very easy to rationalise this part for feeling comfort.
When you set up for winning v/s try to set up for winning.
The latter is much easier to do than the former, and former still implies chance of failure but you actually try to do your best rather than, try to try to do your best.
I think this sounds convoluted, maybe there is a much easier cognitive algorithm to overcome this tendency.
