“It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who lints out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done 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 the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself a a worthy cause. Who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.”
~ Theodore Roosevelt
A reminder for oneself to take a look in the mirror. Take the log out of your own eye before you take the speck out of someone else’s eye. If you really aren’t willing to get dirty or put skin in the game your opinion doesn’t count. Your opinion doesn’t matter because ultimately it’s equally as useless as asking someone for directions when they themselves don’t know how to get there.
