Identical Arenas

"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."

The worst people on this earth are the ones who have the arrogance to laugh at the fat person in the gym.

The critic has no empathy nor a piece of decency to understand that individual is in the gym for the same reason they are in for.

It takes courage to change — and the toughest part is to start.

Quick update: We’re down to the final 5 sets of Analects bookmarks — get two and give one to a friend.

Never expected the demand for a branded bookmark to be this high but I appreciate the several dozen who believed in the thesis.
