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.

I believe Teddy had you in mind when he said that!

Teddy was the shit. If he were president today, we would have a few new states on the map in the middle east and most of the corporate thieves would be in jail waiting for him to beat the shit out them.

Little kids know this...ever watch a kid trying to do something for the first time? If they succeed, they're proud as shit...if they don't, they will just keep getting back up and trying until they get it. If they never get it, they move onto something else. Everything's a learning experience.

We seem to loose our determination as we get older because we're afraid of failure and what other people will think of us. It takes a strong person to just plow through life, trying to succeed, taking risks, and accepting that some failures are just beyond their control...but at least they try!

Maybe...do you think our jails could house all the corporate thieves? Give you states idea some time.
