“To all the snotty critics, what did your kid do in the past six months to match this, just this one thing?”
What about the critics themselves, what have they done in the last six months or even their whole life to match that? I know I haven’t done ANYTHING like that - in my whole life! I’m PWN3D by a 16 yr old girl!! Man for LAME!!!! I said I was going to log off and go do something but I can’t even to that!
"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 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 up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for 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 he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt "Citizenship in a Republic," Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
I love the "doer of deeds" spirit this girl has. It should inspire all of us.
