Be like salt.+ The man in the arena by Teddy Roosevelt

Be like salt.

Don’t be the person that does nothing because they can only do a little. If we wait until we can do it all at one time we will all suffer. Do what you can where you are with what you have.

History books are full of people that gave a little, but made a great difference to the world. A little salt in a dish can change the taste of the meal. Like salt you can make a big difference with a small effort.

One man from North Carolina made a tremendous impact on the world. Evangelist Billy Graham is only one example of how one person can make a difference. Billy Graham has touched millions of lives and has talked to more people than any person in history. We can all do much by doing little; it’s the small things that count.

I love what A.L. Williams says, “All you can do is all you can do, but all you can do is enough.” If all you can do is give a person a smile or a complement that’s great. If you do what you can with what you have you will make a difference in the lives of others. Remember to be like salt, even a little bit can make a big difference.

The Man In The ArenaBy Teddy Roosevelt "Citizenship in a Republic,"Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, FranceApril 23, 1910

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 short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the 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 know neither victory nor defeat. The Man In The Arena

Always Dare to be Great!
