Man in the Arena
There is a very inspirational quote that I use to live my life and I want to share it with WF.
"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."

It reminds me to take ACTION and take ACTION again.
In the time that one person THINKs about doing something, I have already done it and succeeded or failed and on to the next thing with learning from, but not dwelling on the success or failure, but still focusing on the ultimate goal
