A Quote to Live By

This is a quote that has really shaped my thoughts and actions - I actually keep a copy of it in my wallet and sometimes use it at the end of presentations as a reflection point for next steps.

It is not the critic that counts...
the credit actually belongs to the man/woman
who is actually in the arena...
who strives valiantly, who errs and often comes
up short again and again...
who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of
high achievement and,
who at worst, if he/she fails, at least fails while
daring greatly
so that his/her place shall never be with those
cold and timid souls who know neither victory
nor defeat.

President Theodore Roosevelt
