Theodore speaks...

“It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who's actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion and spends himself in a worthy cause; who best knows at the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that this place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosewelt

Came across this on a lobby of a “not-so-great “B-School in Pune. I know this might be very “basic” to most of us but we tend to forget that “we stumble upon rocks and not on mountains”. Could not refrain myself from posting this. The sheer irony of the situation made this all-the-more interesting. A so-called “lower rung” B-School is driven by people who have such alpine opinions.
