Doubt vs Luck
My brother's school was not special. It was very regular. There was no English everyday with great teachers.
So decision was to send my brother to technical school were he would complete remaining 10th and 11th years of school and get “Diploma” of Able Seaman/Motorman.
He was not considered as brightest mind. - Wrong.
I was not favorite son, but there has never been a slightest doubt in my intellectual abilities. - Right. My progress could only be slowed down by my laziness.
He was simply overshadowed. And mother and his father thought that it would be just waste of money and time to send him in Maritime College or Academy. - Wrong again.
Since his first day he became one of the top student in the new place. Parents could not believe in that. - That feeling will stay for a while with them.
He finished among the best. In first five.
That was achievement, but his life as Seafarer had only started. He would have to sail at sea as AB or Motorman. Then save money. Apply for college or Academy in order to get proper education and become Officer.
But LUCK is a drain-less resource. It is impossible to get Her, but once She follows You it is like getting invisible wings.
