"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 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 at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt.
" Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference, The MARINES don't have that problem" Ronald Reagan
"Its better to hold your tongue and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."
Cherokee Legend
Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youths' rite of passage?
His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.
He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold
until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone.

Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.
He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad
must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified.
He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around
him. Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the
grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he satstoically, never
removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold.

It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.
He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

"The Marines I have seen around the world
have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds,
the higest morale, and the lowest morals
of any group of animals I have ever seen.
Thank God for the United States Marine Corps."
Elanor Roosevelt 1945
Leadership is action, not position.
