It's really easy to convince yourself that you've truly, sincerely tried - trying to try is not nearly as effective as trying to win.
I agree. I'm just noting that an admonition to Win is strictly an admonition to try, phrased more strongly. Winning is not an action--it is a result. All I can suggest are actions that get you to that result.
I can tell you "don't be satisfied with trying and failing," but that's not quite the same.
