I haven't heard this quote by Theodore Roosevelt known as "The Critic" or "Man in the Arena" in many moons. I had a poster in my office to encourage my employees. Unfortunately the good ones left the harbor even in bad weather & I was left with the timid ones. lol
Fair winds to all with a few gusts mixed in!

"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 and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, 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 he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
Some of us will get around in our Vegas and some of us will fail to get too far from the harbour. It is all of little importance, all that really matters is we have a passion and belief like Matt has. That's all I need. FORTITUDINE VINCIMUS John C...
