The Special Forces Gave Me The Self-confidence

The Extremes Of Jungles, Mountains, And Deserts Are Inherently Dangerous Places.

I Always Wanted To Be Robin Hood Or John The Baptist When I Was Growing Up.

I Joined The Army At 19 As A Soldier And Spent About Four And A Half Years With Them. Then I Broke My Back In A Freefall Parachuting Accident And Spent A Year In Rehabilitation Back In The U.k.

The Difference Between Ordinary And Extra-ordinary Is So Often Just Simply That Little Word - Extra. And For Me, I Had Always Grown Up With The Belief That If Someone Succeeds It Is Because They Are Brilliant Or Talented Or Just Better Than Me... And The More Of These Words I Heard The Smaller I Always Felt! But The Truth Is Often Very Different... And For Me To Learn That Ordinary Me Can Achieve Something Extra-ordinary By Giving That Little Bit Extra, When Everyone Else Gives Up, Meant The World To Me And I Really Clung To It.

Both Faith And Fear May Sail Into Your Harbor, But Only Allow Faith To Drop Anchor.
