A notable quote from a remarkable soldier. And you know the advice is true because it has been true for over 2,700 years.
"We don't rise to the level of our expectations; we fall to the level of our training." - Archilochus
Pretty sure the 7th grade educated Hackworth was not aware of Archilochus.
He was a truly remarkable man. They don't let people like him advance through the ranks any more. And that's part of what's wrong with the system now.
ReplyDeleteCurrently reading About Face and am only on about page 200. There's another 600 pages to go but already in those first 200 pages Hack has had the exploits of several men combined.
