Hmm, it depens on what you are trying to do, I think that if you are truly sincere with you and with the things you can do you will know what to do!

Reminds me of an old quote of mine... from when I was younger. A bastardisation of something my mother used to tell me.
She would go on about the story of Robert the Bruce and the spider in the cave.... but I knew she was speaking garbage. To try again the same way is to fail again the same way. The great thing about the Universe is that it tends to be consistant, and thus predictable....
No...
My quote was:
"If at first you don't succeed, you're probably doing it wrong...... wanker."
Or to put it another way: learn from your mistakes and correct them. If it isn't working, there has to be something preventing it working that you haven't accounted for, and what you are doing needs to be done differently.
To put it Yoda's way:
"Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try."

Good question. You know, Einstein said that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result each time is the definition of insanity. (I'm paraphrasing, of course). So I say that at first if you don't succeed, look at where you failed and try to succeed again in a more informed way! lol...good luck!

Of course you should!Never give up the if you don't succeed in something the first time you do it.I always work hard to make my dreams come true and I don't get discouraged if I don't manage to do things the first time.Failing only makes me work harder and harder to get what I want,so don't give up!Try again!

Because, perhaps, in your first attempt - you did not get it or understand it. Some people understand things the very first time and others don't - so there's absolutley nothing wrong with trying again until you finally understand or get it.

Definitely ! Okay, you stuffed up, maybe big time, but you must have learnt something from the experience besides the pain of disappointment. Mind you, sometimes it takes some guts and sometimes you need the wisdom to know that there are other times when you are just flogging a dead cat !

Some things are just not meant to be. At times the universe does us a favor and keeps us from mis-creating thing that could impede our spiritual growth.

Depending on how much you really want to archieve. If you really want want to reach your goal you will at the find a way to get there and the more you fail the more you get an idea of how to get there. There more ways to kill a cat if you know what i mean.

Of course! you have to acoording to 'try and try till you succeced' but still tis all about your patience, and how you take things. For example, if you are a kind of a person who gets very upset on losing then probally, you wouldn't want to try again so that you won't upset your self, in that case that is a good decision.
