The Man In The Arena...

[b fold the truth]

It is not the critic who counts,not the man who points out how the strongman stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.the credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly...who knows the 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 have never known neither victory nor defeat.
- Teddy Roosevelt

Great quote!

You know, the more I think about it, the more worried I become that I am one of "those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat". I am not a naysayer or needless critic, but neither have I lived the highs and lows...

Yeah that is an awesome quote, I have it in my room on my mirror and was gonna put it as my signature, but someone else already had it.

Every day that you step into the gym...and focus on a set...you become the man in the arena...

It doesn't matter if your arena is a squat rack, bench press, set of flyes, flipping a car, your job, your school, or your family...

Yeah, maybe. But it sure feels like my arena is tiny and small.
