I bought my husband Sarah Palin's book for Christmas, which he was so excited to receive. (He has a little, tiny, eensy-weensy crush on the former governor of Alaska.)
Now, I know quite a few of you who read my blog ARE NOT fans of Sarah Palin, and that is fine, but my husband sent me a quote from the book regarding criticism. And it is a good quote for all of us who put ourselves out here in Blog-Land.
In the parentheses is the text of Mr. Dina's e-mail to me...her quote is in quotation marks inside of the text of the e-mail...
(Sarah Palin quotes in her book which ties in to what I was telling you re: the blog…
"from Aristotle: 'Criticism is something we can avoid by saying nothing, doing nothing, being nothing.'"
I like that!)
Okay, I will say something, I will do something, I will be something. I would rather be criticized in my life than do nothing.
I know that technically the quote is from Aristotle, but the message is still pretty awesome. And I am sure some of you have heard this before, but come on, a reminder is still a good thing, right?
Hope some of you take this to heart, regardless of your politics. :)
P.S. Okay, next post will be on my New Year's Eve outfits...
