Here is a quote from the late President Theodore Roosevelt that I always think about when I am struggling with something new to me.
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points
out how the strong man stumbled, 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 and comes short again
and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in
the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at 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."
It makes it easier for me to gather up the courage to try again. I hope you find the same help from these words from a very wise man. :)
