The Man In The Arena

The Man In The Arena is an excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt’s now famous speech ‘Citizenship In A Republic‘ delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910.
It is one of my favourite quotes as it acts to both strengthen resolve in adversity and celebrate success in victory:
“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.” – Theodore Roosevelt
It is almost impossible not to be stirred by such powerful words. So, who will you be today? The critic – or the Man In The Arena?

Swiss Competence

Swiss Competence
As one of my friends put it:
I don’t like violence.
But if it comes looking for you, be ready to deal with it.
The more competent you are in life, the less you are the adverse effect of any of it.

Paleo Cookbook

I received a spam promoting a paleo cookbook. The cookbook seemed like a good idea for people who want to eat a healthier lifestyle but do not have the time or inclination to create their own recipes. So here is the pitch for it. I have not tried it myself so please be your own judge of it.
You may have heard of the “Paleo Diet”.
I hate to even call it a “diet”, because it’s really just the REAL way that humans have eaten until 10,000 years ago, as opposed to the modern-day processed food diet full of grains, sugars, and processed vegetable oils.
Some of the benefits claimed are:
– Increased Energy
– Clearer Skin
– Lean, Muscular Body
– Enhanced Libido
– Greater Mental Clarity
– All Day Stamina
– Better Workouts
– And more
The list goes on and on. Talk to anyone who’s actually eaten Paleo for even a full month and chances are, they’ll rave about the changes they started seeing in their body.
Now, the #1 problem is…
By far the biggest complaint from many who try out the Paleo lifestyle is ‘boring’ or that it’s too hard.
Often, people learn the core principles, experience results… but then get stuck eating bland meals of the same foods over and over again.
Today – that problem is completely solved for you with the something Paleohacks have created — their first-ever Paleo Cookbook!
Go here to try the incredibly delicious Paleohacks Cookbook http://products.paleohacks.com/cook-bookb/
