I disagree. (Sorry for my English, I'm from Europe) People use the word 'trying' when they know that they haven't got the skills to get some result. But they are still going for it. So they communicate: I can't garantee that I will succeed, but I will try. It's an appropriate word in certain contextes.
That's the main definition, and is basically the exclusive definition in the US. But in Britain, 'try' really does have more of 2 meanings.
The point in this is that the word 'try' implies that there may be failure.
BTW, the title of the video is a quote from Star Wars in which a character (Yoda) is teaching that you can't imagine failing in order to 'do'. (DO, or DO NOT, there is no TRY)
This was a bit frustrating--it felt like you were going to get solidly into a good topic and just began when the video ended. I couldn't catch the comment (even after 3 replays) that got such a big laugh at the end so that was frustrating too.
The topic and the title are great but it needed 5 minutes or so. I DID get the point about reenforcing the energy or pattern of trying vs success.

"I will do, it's my girlfriends birthday party tonight."
The inflection was perhaps a little odd; him saying his "girlfriends birthday" and then as an after thought adding "party".

It had something to do with a relatives birthday party and him struggling to stay awake.
