MAN IN THE ARENA

By Theodore Roosevelt

“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 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”.

Activate Me

At Stand Up, we are actively in the arena, so to speak, standing up for what we believe in and encouraging others to do the same. We cannot make change by standing on the sidelines criticising others. ‘Activate Me’ is about helping you to find the best way to activate and get involved within your skill set. There is always a way to get started and get involved, no matter where you’re at.

Getting activated in our areas of passion is one of the greatest things we can do. At Stand-Up we have created multiple ways where you can personally activate and become part of the evolution of change. The key to activation is through Stand-Up Community Connect Groups that we are progressively establishing in every local government area of Australia. Everything happens through Community Connect Groups.
