Oh when the saints go marching in ...

In my quest to enhance my intellectual knowledge and skills, I have had to face some very tough challenges in the midst of juggling work, studies and other personal commitments.

Good quotes by past leaders inspire and cheer me on in this journey - the most difficult by far with emotional highs, lows and nervous anticipation for the things just 'round the corner ...

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 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 cause, who at best knows 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 know neither victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
