The Triumph and The Daring


"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 . . .”
-Theodore Roosevelt

Who? Me?

Watching the world on tenterhooks,
Waiting for it to fall.
Knowing that it shall happen
And grinning in anticipation.



P.S. I feel positively villainous, in a poetic sort of way....

Dreams

Do we let our dreams create our reality when our dreams are contained by our perception of what we can achieve?

The Journey and the Destination

We shall not cease from exploration,
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started,
And know the place for the first time.



T S Elliot
