"It is not the ctitic 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 errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at 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."

Mistakes

~You will turn over many a futile new leaf till you learn we must all write on scratched-out pages.
~Mignon McLaughlin

You know those times when you say something remarkably stupid. Wish you could take it back. Freak out inside every time you think about it...

Pretty sure I have one of those moments everyday.

No really. I do say stupid things every single day of my life. But I'm talking about the things you really wish you could take back. Like when you didn't think about how you worded something and as it's coming out of your mouth you just know the other person is going to take it wrong. And even when you apologize and explain yourself, you're never really sure how they feel about it.

Or you misunderstand someone and answer incorrectly based on what you thought. (Happens to me ALL the time in French). Yep, pretty much I just had to say that. Cuz it's frustrating me.
