is this even possible? how would you know if you had actually done your best?

Cliche that leads people to actually not try their best, imo, because you can always fall back on "I did my best" as an excuse.

naw this is good. do your best. it's trusting and well directed, i think, pragmatic and encouraging.

Maybe you can't know, but it doesn't follow that you can't do your best. Just that it's uncertain when it happens.

how are we to judge if someone else really did their best
what if someone says "do your best:" when you are using the potty and you crap on a republican instead?

I think it's hard to do your best without feeling like something is at stake.
