Thought I would post this for something different :D
Taken from a speach by Teddy Rosevelt, I think he was talking about building a streetfighter;)
Reminds me when things might not be going the way I planned on my bike & I start to think screw it why do I bother, I sit down have a smoke & a read then have another go;). Cause as long as I luv my bike screw the world lol :D;)
"The Man In The Arena" (Or Woman, very sexist!! [:0])
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, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat
