Food For Thought

[Jedistphn]

:idea:
It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, 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 and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, 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 timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Here is another...

""There are good men and bad men of all nationalities, creeds and colors; and if this world of ours is ever to become what we hope some day it may become, it must be by the general recognition that the man's heart and soul, the man's worth and actions, determine his standing." ~ T.R.

Sometimes to live peacefully we need to admit that in our quest for truth, false information may be handed to us. The best we can do is face it and keep growing.

Best of luck to you Stephen with your future endeavors.

Sometimes, I worry: that many leaders in many walks of life not just politicians or business leaders lack the courage for the arena and the good fight anymore ;that standing is not driven by actions but by modern day propaganda and double speak without real meaning ;that we live in a world where perception tops truth and celebrity tops character and that we dwell in a place where perception becomes reality at least until reality hits us in the head and then it may be too late.

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

"A stiff apology is a second insult... The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt."
