Yup. No matter where you go, there you are.
Don’t judge your advancement or place in life against what others have attained. But look at your life as a whole. Are you happy?
And don’t judge others by where you are. As the slaves would whisper in the ears of Roman generals during parades, all glory is fleeting.
Why did that regional pilot become a “lifer”? Who knows. But don’t assume after a few years that you have this industry figured out. Thank God K4 threw me a lifeline. I will always be grateful.
