A simple business venture effort looking back contemplating effort past
A few years ago, a neighborhood book store business once operated. Now gone.
The store closed. Store front signs gone. But, a note posted on its former customer entry door imparted the need for its reader to step into the former book store business owner operator shoes and just think. What if this was my store; hence would I just quit in personal defeat. Or not give up; a quest; a dream; personal sucess?
The note posted quoted a sympathetic effort now over for this former book store. The quoted note said this:
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 and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, 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 he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
—— Theodore Roosevelt
