something special for encouragement
this is something that i saw hanging in a McAlister's Deli. i asked about it and they gave me a copy, and now i would like to share it with everyone.
"It is not the critic who counts: not
the man who points out how the
strong man stumbled, or where the
doer of the deed could have done
better. The credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena; who errs
and comes short again and
again... because there is no effort
without error and shortcoming.
It is the man who does actually strive
to do the deeds; who knows the great
enthusiasm; the great devotions; who
spends himself in a worthy cause; who
at the best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement... and
who at the 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 nor defeat"
Theodore Roosevelt
