Short monologue by a speaker (Jacqueline Elliott) arguing that "trying" is ineffective because societal norms encourage fallback options (e.g., divorce or plan B), which undermines commitment in marriage and focus in business. The speaker links the availability of alternatives to high divorce rates and business failure, warning that there are lost, non-repeatable chances to impress one’s spouse and children.

Trying does not work. Society is teaching you in your marriages. Oh, if this doesn't work, you can go look for someone else. It's so stupid. That's why the divorce rate is so high. You don't have a second chance to impress your children. You don't have a second chance to impress your wife. In your business, there's so much competition out there. That's the reason why you're failing. Because you have another plan B.
