I found this while reading Di Smith‘s book You’re Awesome, it’s the opening paragraph of a chapter entitled Conquer Your Fear. (Disclaimer: she is a client of mine.)
“It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows great enthusiasm, great devotion and the triumph of achievement and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while doing greatly – so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
- Theodore Roosevelt
Doesn’t that just make you want to go out and do something awesome?
