Page 1: It is not the critic who counts

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit goes to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and blood and sweat, who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes up short again and again.

Who at best knows in the end of the triumph of high achievement.

Who at worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. Theodore Roosevelt

Truth is generally the best vindication against slander. / Abraham Lincoln

“Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard ,solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half- baked ‐solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

“If you are not in the arena getting your butt kicked I am not interested in your feedback.” – Dr. Brene Brown (I have the courage to show up and be kicked. There are a lot of cheap seats in the audience, easy to critisize)
