It is not the critic who counts… The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena… who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
There’s a whole lot of critics watching from a safe distance and looking out for every mistake.
Let us not mistake these men for brave or wise. They may appear cool or stoic on the outside, but they are afraid. Tied to their ego and scared to fail or be judged.
But the man who is actually doing, and has learned from one thousand failures, is far more skilled, wise, and dangerous than the man who has never dared to fail.
First rate! Great debut. Best of luck and thanks for the inspiration.
