Re: TOTM IS ON AGAIN
I think a big problem is that a lot of members may feel a little intimidated and afraid of embarrassing themselves if they don't get any votes. If, like me, they don't have a lot of confidence in what they can produce, it can make you very backwards at coming forward.

"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.”silversurfer1947 wrote:I think a big problem is that a lot of members may feel a little intimidated and afraid of embarrassing themselves if they don't get any votes.
