The apprentice says one day to his master "Master, you are wise and enlightened. Please teach me to become like you". To which the master responded, "To become enlightened, you must cease trying". So the young Buddhist went off and did his best to cease his struggles and become detached from outcome. He returned a while later, "Master, I have perfected the art of not trying", and the master replied "Ah, but you have been trying harder than ever to cease trying! You must now cease trying to cease trying."
