do or do not there is no try

So I’m in the car with my dad and brother, and I don’t exactly remember how this came up, but basically my brother used Yoda’s quote “Do or do not, there is no try” against my dad, and my dad didn’t fight it and explained why he loved that quote, because you either do it or you don’t, stop saying try,

And then I started saying “What if you someone decides they will do something, and they put all their effort into doing it, and still fail?” And my dad and brother say “Well then they didn’t do it!” and I say “Yes they did! They put their time and their energy into doing something and did whatever they could to get it done and they still didn’t get it. Does their effort mean nothing?!?!?!”

And then I realized I was saying all this because I was defending Stanley Pines (regarding his trying to make money after he got kicked out and ending up being homeless). (And also defending everyone like him who gives it their all and still doesn’t succeed)
