Are you changing the world one step at a time to be better place? Good for you!! I am also doing my bit - one step at a time and at times only to improve the life of one person at a time.
Pope Francis - he's got the world as his platform to speak out!
My friend Werner Perufsky - he's got Fochville as his platform to perform good deeds.
My wife referred me to the then President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt's ARENA SPEECH that he delivered 1910; it is called THE MAN IN THE ARENA.
Here is the quote: "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, excerpt from the speech
"Citizenship In A Republic", delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris,
France on 23 April, 1910; here is the link to the
internet.
My question to you: Are you in the arena? Yes, I know you are and let's us keep up the good works we do. And may God bless you!
