I have seen this many times but I like to be reminded of it every now and then.
“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done 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 and comes short again and again, who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievement and who at worst, if he fails, shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
