Let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out. Theodore Roosevelt
There's a huge difference between wearing out and rusting out. One means you worked hard and did your job for as long as possible. The other means you sat around, allowed yourself to become neglected, exposed yourself to the weather of life and became unusable. Roosevelt makes a good point in today's quote. Wouldn't you rather wear out than rust out? Wouldn't you rather be known at the end of your life for being someone who worked hard and with integrity than someone who skated by and became unusable? Because when you become rusted from neglect you also lose people's respect and become known as a person who doesn't have integrity in their work life. Wouldn't you rather wear out than rust out? I know I would.
