Motivation from yours truly ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt was a bad-ass who knew how to accomplish a lot in his life.  Do not believe me, check this link out. The Man  He is also the man who provided us with an inspirational quote that I used to help motivate myself to become the man on campus.  So, without further delay, read through the quote below, think about it, print it out and tack it up on your wall or tape it to your desk.  Then, when ever you are tired, feeling down, or feel like failure, READ this quote and move on.

"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." ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Oh and here is Theodore Roosevelt using a moose to cross a river. In case that wasn't cool enough for you, remember he was the president of the United States when this photo was taken.
