Surviving three quarters of a century while watching many others fall to the wayside led me to ponder why am I still here? Was it great genes, good planning, or plain dumb luck that had allowed me to reach the third hump on my journey to a century? I had to know. So I sat and dissected my journey in intricate detail until I reached the conclusion that everything I am today originates from the experiences I gained in my first twenty years. The ups, downs, trips, falls, bump into, get hit by moments that I somehow survived and learnt valuable lessons from. I am a product of the stupidity and clumsiness that taught me two things. Firstly, If it bites don't go back a second time to see if it happens again and, Secondly, Always have a backup plan and a good excuse.
