It is also important how an individual behaves to achieve that experience.
I give little value to an experienced high flyer who has got to the top by trampling and climbing on others to get to their high position.
A good opening post from scum and I would not expect anything less.
Scum is an interesting example of my points...a man with a troubled family history as explained previously by himself on here, a man who could have wallowed in all his problems which were not of his creation but he looked for opportunities as few as they were,worked hard,took those opportunities without feeling sorry for himself and it helped make him the man he is....That’s what I admire,the journey not the end point.
