There's a mindset of flexibility and adaptability that comes with us. We don't mind hardship. We don't mind somebody saying, 'Go in and do this nasty job.' Whatever the job is, we can do it. That's why the nation has a Marine Corps.
Do you know that the ready concession of minor points is a part of the grace of life?
I'm so lucky to have a career in my fifties. And to still have the desire to do it. I don't think about retirement.
