So, Whaddya think?


It's not the critic that counts, not the one that points out where the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the one 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 the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends themselves in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if they fail at least fails while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be to reside in the grey twilight with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

So what arena are you in?
