Daring Greatly

Teddy Roosevelt in a speech in 1910 said:

“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.”

Pink Flowers of March

I pass this tree every evening on my ride. I love these pink flowers and the way they fill up the tree. Very reminiscent of the yellow flowers in Hyd which bloom at about the same time each year.

My Electronic Library

Just did some housekeeping on the hard-disk containing my E-Library.
And this is what I saw.....

My current pace is 1 book a month, so to complete my queue would take me something like 344 years to complete..... I am going to fall waaayy behind on my reading list....
