Tony the Navy Fighter Pilot

Since I flew on airlines to 2 cities a day for 3 years ending in 1997, I don't talk to other passengers but for 2 exceptions.
The first was a motivational speaker who has remained one of the 5 finger best in life friends for over 10 years and the second was this week.
This week was Tony, a fighter pilot from the Navy who had flown an empty jet @ 4 am and was going back home.
He shared that Navy fighter pilots got that task often because their idea of a successful landing was benchmarked by a controlled CRASH on the deck of a sea-tossed Carrier.
Got some key Life Lessons:
Stick with your team / partner no matter what to increase success & survival 10-fold +
In a team of disciplined pro's, the best have an artistic, entrepreneurial approach
Facing up to honest self assessment and filling a matching suited role is a proven path to success as you define it
