What do statement like that serve to promote? It reads to me like "I was clever once, but now I am only wise."
Sharing experiences does neither promote bravado n`or boast. I hope it promotes the development of respect for all that is involved in aviation and a sense of humility towards one`s fallibility.
Here is a well known quote, by Vernon Law.
"Experience is a hard teacher it gives the test first and the lesson afterwards".
