From one of my models I've often wondered about how possible it will be for me to be what I what i want to b in the vast areas of influence i seem to have.It's become a liitle more difficult to imagine after listening to loads of "motivational" and "demotivational speakers ,emphasizing sticking to one thing or a few things.
Lately, I have come to a lovely conclusion, following listening to my Creator(Phillipians4 ;13) studying living and ancient models and a commitment to self assessment. My conclusion is obvious! and here's a quote from one of my models. semi-ancient models!!
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out
how the strong man stumbled, 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 the dust and
sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes
short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the
great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who
at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who, 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 or defeat.
—Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore was the 26th President of United States, and perhaps one of the most energetic and multifaceted President's the Nation has ever had. CHECK THIS OUT!!
In addition to holding elective office as a New York State Assemblyman, Governor of New York, Vice President, and President, he was also a deputy sheriff in the Dakota Territory, Police Commissioner of New York City, U.S. Civil Service Commissioner, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and Colonel of the Rough Riders *, all by the age of 42, at which time he became the youngest man ever to hold the office of President.
He was one of the original members of the American Institute of Arts and Letters, and he was one of the first fifteen elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He was a founder of the Boone and Crocket Club, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and the Long Island Bird Club.
He also established himself as a historian (he was President of the American Historical Association) and as a naturalist (he was considered the world's authority on large American mammals and he led two major scientific expeditions for prominent American Museums, one in South America and one in Africa, each lasting many months). Had he not become President, he would be remembered for his contributions in both of these fields!!
there's a lot more about this man !, this page won't do justice! moreso , i need to get to work, so tht some kid can remember me , after i'm long gone. !!!
