There are many quotes I enjoy from President Theodore Roosevelt. This is one of them:
"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 the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly."
I love this...
Without question, credit goes to those who are in the Arena, those who, day in and day out, fight the good fight. Are you one of those persons? Do you fight the good fight? Are you in the arena and even if struggling, are you daring greatly?
On this note, I just got a Life Performance Bonus check today for one of our Careers. Congratulations to Syliva Monroy for achieveing a Level 1 Life Bonus. This is a significant accomplishment. Sylvia truly expemplifies a person who is in the arena. She fights ever day to grow her agency and to be found on top. Sylvia also wrote 27 NB Property and Casualty polcies last month leading the Careers in this category.
Another person that bears recognition is Katia Barron, another Career Agent, who wrote 9 Life Policies last month and Issued and Paid 9 life policies as well. Another great achievement. Katia wrote and issued and paid more life policies than any Career or FTA in the District during the month of September. She is one of these persons in the arena. Katia has also found an office in Riverside and will be moving out of the District Office soon. This is a great time for Katia and we wish her well in achievements... Incidentally, Katia wrote 26 NB Property & Casualty policies last month.
Want to Grow? Get in the Arena...
