Popular singer Jennifer Lopez has celebrated her 57th birthday in style. She recently shared a personal clip that was accompanied by an audio excerpt from Theodore Roosevelt’s famous “The Man in the Arena” speech from 1910, which praises those who continue striving despite setbacks.
The speech read, “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 better. But 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 up short again and again.”
Lopez added, “When you keep going it just keeps getting better ✨🥳.”
