After the Talk: Heroes, Villains and Critics
Hello, and welcome! I’m excited to invite you to an exclusive piece of video content I’ve created for you. If you’ve made it here, you’ve hopefully seen my recent TED Talk, Eyes Wide Open.
Gain access to my Heroes, Villains and Critics video simply by entering your email address here. In this video I expand upon some of the ideas I explained in my TED Talk. If you haven’t seen it, you might want to watch the TED Talk before you watch this. A link to the talk is available here.
Heroes, Villains & Critics
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.
