The Greatest Words Of Wisdom
Without a doubt, one of my favorite speeches in history is The Man in the Arena by Teddy Roosevelt. I first read it when I was just a kid. It has definitely shaped how I have lived my life. I believe it can help anyone who strives for his/her greatness. We are not here to live a meek life. We are here to unleash our greatness upon the world and give back more than we receive. We are here to make our mark so that the world is better off than how we found it. We are here to live our greatest lives.
If you have a moment, I recommend strongly that you listen to it below.
Here is a condensed written version below.
“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, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; 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 fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
In a nutshell, Theodore Roosevelt’s advice on how to live your greatest life is simple. Chase your greatness. Never become a hater, naysayer, or doubter. Make your mark on the world.
