At USNA, we said: "You're always someone's boy", meaning: "No matter how great you are at X, there is always someone who can school you."
- Supermancho 6y agoI dont understand why anyone would foster that defeatist message. Sounds as hollow as most us vs them mantras. Success and opportunity is not as likely to depend on what metric someone is "best" as who has the right opportunity at the right time while having a broad set of skills (almost any level of expertise).
