𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐛𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐭 In 1910, a year after leaving his presidential office, Theodore Roosevelt gave what would become one of his greatest public orations. The most famous section of his speech still resonates and inspires, even today. 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 "𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚" 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬: "The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer. There are many men who feel a kind of twister pride in cynicism; there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt. There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticize work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities — all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness. The role is easy; there is none easier, save only the role of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance."

Navigating the Fustercluck #203 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. – Theodore Roosevelt, "The Man in the Arena" Memorize this until you can recite it word-for-word. It’s a great little pick-me-up after disastrous client meetings.

Did you know that Leap Day was created by a Pope? That's right... in 1582 Pope Gregory XIII introduced what we know as the Gregorian calendar 📅which added an extra day in February to realign the seasons. 🌻How to figure out which years are Leap Year? Years divisible by 4 are to be Leap Years except for century years, which must be divisible by 400 to be Leap Years. 🐸#LeapDay2024

"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.

This passage is often quoted to emphasize the courage and determination required to actively participate in life, regardless of the outcome, rather than being a mere bystander or critic. It reflects Roosevelt's own philosophy of taking bold action and facing challenges head-on, embodying the spirit of resilience and perseverance.

THE POWER OF SELF BELIEF! Whether you like the following people or not, the quotations they gave us certainly indicate that they had self belief by the bucket load. Maybe we should take their words to heart and live by them! Ronald Reagan - If you think you can, you can. Margaret Thatcher - This lady is not for turning. John C Donahue - What you think will become your reality. Norman Vincent Peale - You can if you think you can. Winston Churchill - History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. John Burroughs - If you think you can do it, you can. Henry Ford - Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right. Theodore Roosevelt - Believe you can and you’re halfway there. #selfbelief #careercoaching #proteuscareermanagement #careeradvice #careerguidance #careermentoring
