To get over KKR's doom, SRK finds solace in Roosevelt!

KKR seems a lost battle for owner Shah Rukh Khan. Not only is his team out of semi-finals in the IPL but is also making headlines for its off-the-field drama.
Cricketer Ajay Jadeja's recent shocking revelations about a racial drift existing in the team has opened doors for further criticism and need for investigation in the team.
In times of crisis owner Shah Rukh too has stopped attending KKR's matches. He has let coach John Buchanan do all the talking for KKR's unending string of defeats at the IPL 2009 instead. However the superstar owner of the team has not stopped writing to his team. In his latest blog he has quoted none other than late American President Franklin Roosevelt.
"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 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.
KORBO LORBO JEETBO"
...Wrote SRK describing his feelings after his team's dismal performance this year. We wonder if these words will help his team rise from the ashes like a phoenix!
