If you are right I will stand by you and give you all the support you need, If you are wrong, shut up and take defeat as you will be on your own.

This was told to me by my Dad from an early age and I stand by it often, Sometimes I am wrong, so shut up, other times I will stand toe to toe with those who are wrong and when they realise they are wrong it is they who shut up and take defeat.

Yes, indeed. And,

It is not the critic who counts. Or how the strong man stumbled and fell
Or where the doer of deed could have done better.
The credit belongs to the Man who is actually in the arena.
Who knows the great enthusiasms. The great devotion.
And spends himself in a worthy cause.
If he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.
So that he will never be one of those cold and timid souls
Who know neither victory or defeat.

Lasseters grave, Alice Springs.
