The quote below is my source of inspiration and below it is a summary of my take outs from it:
Theodore Roosevelt's 'The Man in the Arena':
“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 belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, 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 neither know victory nor defeat.”
Key Take outs from this quote.
1. Trying is a worth cause.
2. You will always get critics in your efforts.
3. Experiencing both success and failure in anything is learning.
4. Fear cripples effort, stifles action and you get worse off than attempting and failing.
5. Victory comes with a lot of investment and suffering.
6. No one or a few people acknowledges the effort of the person in a predicament.
