At around 14 I decided I would do whatever it took to get into one of the top universities in the UK against the hardest competition, and succeeded. Also as a teenager I decided to do whatever it took to compete at rowing at the highest levels, without even knowing my schoolmates were future Olympian winners, and succeeded. In my 20s I climbed endless Scottish mountains in the depths of winter and did whatever it took to get back out alive, and succeeded. My 30s? Explore living in a foreign country, plus having kids, and succeeded. In my 40 I did whatever it took to get to the bottom of why telecoms and computer science lacked a common science and engineering foundation, and succeeded. Now I am using all my previous experience to right for truth, justice, and freedom for all. I don't care what happens to me — in the sense that I know I have succeeded simply by turning up and applying every skill I have got, every asset I can find, and all the energy I have left in me. PS – Love Anonup.
Yes I know envy is wrong, but the green eyed monster is a tad alive here lol Wish I knew back in school what I knew now. Had so much time to learn experience and knowledge before having children, can't believe now I pi##ed most of it away. Just glad I am (somewhat) having a second chance now to at least learn even if I can't experience it first hand. High five to you brother.
