Consider this page a ‘Sticky’.
Let’s set the record straight and the tone for bignorm.net.
The posts that contain petty jibes and scathing criticism’s just make me look like a big fat sideline scoffer. Please forgive me, ‘cos often I am just that. My passion’s – pure as they are – and my pain’s often manifest in unnecessary over-criticism. Again, sorry.
Credit goes only to all the brave men and women out there having a go. Not mwah, sitting here blabbering away about stuff that I am too scared or under-qualified to tackle. Its easy to sit here and blog about these things, ‘cos everyone is an expert on their own blog. There’s no reporting structures, no accountability, no guidelines – just pure rant and pot-shots from the hip.
The people who are sweating to make real changes in this world don’t have time to blog.
They just humbly get on with the important stuff. Not like us ‘bloggers’ who spend way too much time posting feeble misinformed moans and daring opinions that cleverly provoke replies to stroke our bulging egos, or ideas that we have copied from people who we wish we were. What a shame.
My head hangs. Guilty As Charged.
Theodore Roosevelt summarised the essence of both my viewpoint and my message to you in his famous Man In the Arena speech. Let this be the tone of bignorm.net.
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
