소소한 발자취를 모아, 언젠간 길을 만들고 싶습니다.
그 여정을 가끔 담아보고자 합니다.
네온샤인밖에 보이지 않는 날이면, 북극성을 바라보고자 블로그를 시작했습니다.
그렇기에 몽상가의 재미없고, 주관적인 내용으로 가득 찹니다.
블로그 이름은 'The Man in the Arena'입니다.
미국 26대 대통령 시어도어 루즈벨트의 연설문 제목입니다.
아직은 연설문처럼 살고 싶은 나이인가 봅니다.
"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."
