I would appreciate it if all of you guys could help me with an assignment. Please post one piece of advice or bit of wisdom that would help someone become a better person. It would also be helpful if you put your name in the post. The name part is obviously optional, but would be helpful. Thanks everyone. ---

Not 100% sure what you’re asking for, but if it’s motivation you need: > [@](#): > > “It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, 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.” > > Roosevelt [http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=116539321&page=1](http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=116539321&page=1) Just read every single post in that thread.

For me: Never be afraid to try. Even if you try and fail, if you can learn something from that, then you haven’t truly failed. However, if you refuse to try, then you fail. If you try, you might succeed. I will take HUGE risk at events to push the envelope and see where I end up. I never completely fail, as I can always discover things aren’t working and fall back to a safer position. But, I will learn from the attempt and figure out what went wrong and try again as soon as I can again. Sometimes things simply don’t work and I have to give up on that and try something else. I will also set my crew up to fail all the time. I don’t just do this out of some sick sense of enjoyment. I want to see how they handle the situation. I intend to let them learn from the experience so they never have that problem again. I won’t let them flat out fail though. I’m also pleasantly surprised by how often they find the issue and fix it without having to involve me. I must therefore be doing something right. ---
