The doer of Deeds
It is not the critic who counts,not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arens,whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;who stives valiantly;who errs,and comes short again and again;because there is not effort without error and shortcoming;but who does actually strive to do the deeds;who knows the great enthusiasms,the great devotions;who spends himself in a worthy cause,who at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievement and who at the worst,if he fails,at least fails whiledaring greatly,so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
真的让人尊敬的并不是那些评论家和那些指出强者是怎么样跌倒,实干家本该做得更好的人。
荣誉是那些亲临竞技场,满脸污泥,汗水和鲜血的人。他们不懈奋斗,他们曾犯过过错,并一再失败。由于付出即意味着犯了错误和失败。他们满怀激情地努力做事,执着不懈,将生命奉献于崇高的事业。他们为经过艰辛努力最后获得的伟大收获而自豪,假如失败,他们夜败的荣耀。因而,如此的人永远不应与那些不了解胜利,也从未失败过的冷淡而胆怯的灵魂相提并论。
