In the arena...

Greetings to you this Monday Morning !!
In any significant achievement a worthwhile question to be asked is "Whom does the credit belong to?"
Theodore Roosevelt answers this question beautifully....he says...
"Certainly not the critic. The critic does not count. He is simply the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The real credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
-- Theodore Roosevelt
Have a great week !!
