3. Every day is a school day, you will never stop learning

5. Take full advantage of every opportunity offered to you


Just emphasising these, as the theme of the thread is inspiration for young people - there is a price of all this fun we all have had, and it's the willingness to study, and to learn. Constantly, from the day you enter the professions, to the day you last walk away from an aircraft. I've paid that price willingly, but it's not a cheap price - in 32 years since I started as an engineer, there's probably the equivalent of about 9 years full time study in there.
