Every question I have answered often leads to more questions

Some people give up and stop asking questions.

However, I think people who stop asking questions aren't very brave.

And if you aren't brave enough in this life often you don't survive very long.

And although I tend to be a very bold person I'm not stupid either and so I listen to my instincts and intuitions about everything.

And when a lady with a father tells me: "You are too bold to fly a plane. My father was too bold and he's dead now because of that." I listen to what someone says to me like that.

And you know what: I agree with her. I'm just too bold to be a pilot all the time because though I can be methodical I'm not always methodical when piloting a plane which I have soloed in. But, I have also flown gliders without engines as well as Hang gliders as well. But, I never jumped out of a plane with a paraglider or parachute. Why? Because a lady at work when I was 20 her boyfriend went splat one day and I saw what it did to her. After that, I wasn't interested in jumping out of a plane even once after that.

But, motorcycles (especially off road motorcycles) and (rock climbing which I did until age 26) and racing cars in my teens on the streets with friends I survived all of these things and I'm here today still.

But, realizing I'm too bold to be a safe and good pilot is one of the reasons I'm still alive here at age 76.
