The credit does not belong to the man who points out how the strong man stumbled 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 and comes short again and again; 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 the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

adapted a quote from theodore roosevelt. >< i really can't stand how singaporeans think their complaints are 1)harmless, or even worse 2)beneficial.

on a different note, i'm really glad that exams have ended! and i'm dreading the release of my grades. =X please let me do well for this sem!
