Deep Thoughts by Taco (1/725)

 

“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

 

Here is a motivational quote that I like.  It is easy to be a critic of someone who strives for something whether it be a business venture, noble cause, etc but at the end of the day said person is at least trying. Instead of criticizing someone’s failures focus on the actions you can take in your own life to achieve success in any area.
