Execution is the Key

December 27th, 2005 by Administrator

snowmen christmasI got this quote submitted by Chichi … It is a great quote from Theodore Roosevelt about the critic — we always know how things can be done better, but it is the doing, not the criticizing that get the medals.

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, comes up short again and again, because there is no 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 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. -Theodore Roosevelt

As I keep telling the people, ” There never was a status of honor erected for the person for what he said he will do, or intended to do.”

    Let me add, “Ideas are worthless; value comes from execution”.

    Teddy had it right. Way too many coat-holders out there ready to tell you why something can’t be done. I agree with greg up to a point. But first you have to think of it before you can do it. A diamond looks like a rock until you polish it. But it’s still a diamond. You can polish a lump of coal all day long, and it’s still a lump of coal.
