May Editor’s Pick—The Try by James P. Owen

From The Center for Cowboy Ethics and Leadership: When cowboys say, ''That cowhand, he''s got try,'' they''re talking about the quality of giving something every ounce of effort you can muster. The TRY is that burning desire to accomplish something, coupled with the belief that you can do it, and the determination to give it 110% effort every day.
