Man In The Arena

"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."

Correct !

With one exception - exception wich confirm the rule :

Starting from "the credit belong..' and on `till end of quote, description is basicaly fit for a pioneer, a route opener. Yet there is another form of pioneer to : the one who build criticism toward wrongs. That is one who get credits pointing what "storng man" stumble. Is the Thoreau`s rebel (http://five4all.com/cult).

Nice quote, Steli.

On the other hand, can I remember to you, you said you`ll post 33 posts in next 33 days, some time a go ? :-))

Yo Valentin,

this quote is all about the man IN the arena. There are many important pioneers OUTSIDE of the arena too ( like the critics of wrongs as you described it). But criticizing wrongs is NOT the same as being in the arena and changing wrongs ;)

And yes you can remind me of what I've said. 33 posts in the next 22 days. Let's see if I will make it. There are still some days left...
