Remain Inspired and Push Forward

February 13, 2014 – Remain inspired and push forward!  - Teddy Roosevelt’s famous speech in 1910 at the Sorbonne in Paris, brings to us a wonderful and inspiring message to be applied to the day to day challenges in our personal lives and in the corporate environment.      

 

Today's Wishes:

As a leader and manager, let us be inspired by the words spoken so passionately by Theodore Roosevelt, which apply to the day to day challenges in our personal lives and in the corporate environment:

 

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles…

The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;

Who strives valiantly; who at his 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.”

 

Remain inspired and push forward!
