Discussion• What are some areas that you are

trying to move people from here to there?

• Was it hard for you to write down where you're at right now with your business?  Why or why not?  

• Do you agree that "everyone knows anyway" and that the best way to handle it (if your company is in a down swing) is to just admit it, declare an emergency and get it moving again?  

• Were you surprised at your answer to the “E” test?

Daring Greatly

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

Excerpt from the speech “Citizenship In A Republic”

Delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France

April 23, 1910

DISCUSSION
