Before Success

High Achievement
It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done 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 no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement. And at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. -- President Theodore Roosevelt (Paris 1910)

Successful People
"People who regard themselves as highly efficacious, act, think, and feel differently from those who perceive themselves as inefficacious. They produce their own future, rather than simply foretell it." -- Albert Bandura
Blame
"All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you.
