Greatest Speeches of All Time - Best Motivational Podcast | Poetry That Inspires | Life Changing Motivation Roosevelt had personal experience with failure, having lost three elections. Despite these setbacks that would have deterred many others, he never gave up on his causes and continued to fight for them until they were achieved. “The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer,” he said. “A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticize work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities—all these are marks, not ... of superiority but of weakness.” Simerjeet Singh reads an excerpt from one of Theodore Roosevelt’s greatest speeches first delivered in 1910 at the Sorbonne in Paris, France – The Man in the Arena. This inspirational speech encapsulates the importance of being confident in oneself and the ability to keep moving forward. The Man in the Arena "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 Teddy Roosevelt Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/sXDRDNayi7c #ManInTheArena #PowerfulMotivation #SimerjeetSingh #MotivationalPoetry #PoetryLovers #PoetryCommunity #MotivationalPodcast Follow us on: https://linktr.ee/SimerjeetSingh
