Try, Attempt and make sincere Efforts



In my earlier job,
got a new assignment .
I wrote a mail to my Vertical Head 



Will try to deliver the best.

Immediately got a reply 
Please remove 'try '

'Attempt 'came to my mind 
Searched "Try and attempt "difference 

An "Attempt ' is used in a formal context 
"Try "is used in an informal context 

Rephrase
Will deliver the best by making sincere attempts. Not satisfied 

Again one more word stuck to me.
Efforts.
Searched "attempt and efforts "difference 

The "Effort" is when you do your best and put hard work into something.

An "Attempt" is when you try hard at something to the best you can, but don’t entirely succeed at it.

Suddenly remembered a good old proverb in my mother tongue Tamil.

முயற்சி திருவினனயாக்கும்
Effort Never fail

Final mail response.
I will make 100 % sincere efforts to deliver the best.

Above all these words,  we need to put in 
Action
Action
Action 
To reach our goals  or achieve the   desired results 

One quote that covers three words and  Action

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan.

Your take, please.

Dindugal Locks

Tamilnadu -Dindugal Poottu (Locks ) Used to hear from my grandpa that Burglars will smash the door of the house easily instead of attempting to break the Dindugal locks. Also, it would be very difficult to make a duplicate key for these types of locks. Whenever we used to go to a hardware shop for buying a lock, shop keeper always asks, you need Dindugal strong locks or ordinary safety locks. That much importance was given to it. We have a rhyme in Tamilnadu linking the name of the town it belongs to.
