Man in the arena tattoo

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena and fights...!!! #inspiration #motivation #stamina #keeppushingforward #learntofightalone #strength

You know the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover?” The same rule can be changed into “Don’t judge a person by its ink.” Getting some body art inked is probably one of the best ways for self-expression—be it a drawing in remembrance of your past beliefs, shenanigans or a minimal tattoo filled with deep meanings. No tattoo design is meaningless or ugly because there’s always something bigger behind it. At least to the person who chose the unique tattoo.

My new addition:" it is not the critic who counts not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles the credit belongs to the man in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly who at his worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who neither knew victory nor defeat."

Jeffrey York, a veteran of the Afghan war who is currently assigned to Ft. Bragg, says he wears this statement from Theodore Roosevelt on his leg because it's about "people on the outside judging without being in the arena."
