The real story is:
If you don't apply... you will never know!! Ah.... ignorance is bliss.... ain't it? I'm so tired of saying this over and over again. YOU CAN DO IT.. often better than others.
Why are people so cynical of their own talents and abilities? Do people really look in the mirror every morning and say i'm not as good as a white man? I don't have the same opportunities as a white man! So I should just live in my own self pity and stay in the same sh.. hole of a situation which is my life. I work for PAL or CP and that is the best it will ever be for me!! Machten made it into CX coz he has a blue passport!!! Wha wha wha
Why accept seconds when taking the initiative to be first only requires you to believe
that YOU CAN! That goes for everything in your life. Your family.. your kids and even working for LT.
If I thought during my first solo that I couldn't do it... I probably wouldn't have. So if I keep on thinking that CX won't hire me coz I'm a brown monkey they probably won't!
