Speaking from personal experience, I had the same little (you graduated from little ole Tuskegee and you are not good enough to be where you are) demons. When I got into that top floor corner office and sat looking out the window at the planes land, I said to myself; you are good enough and you probably worked harder at it than most of your predecessors. So my dear Dr. KD, you are more than good enough... from where I sit. As Tina Turner would say "Simply the best, better than all the rest"<br />Love from Poopdeck..Tony Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10933409391437441492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-53975988496240714012012-04-26T22:55:31.720-04:002012-04-26T22:55:31.720-04:00I still feel like I'm bamboozling everybody......I still feel like I'm bamboozling everybody...

(take it from someone who is neither - brains - being good at something is only part of being successful)<br /><br />The best doctor (GP) we ever had was not a brilliant diagnostician. He often hadn't a clue what was up. But he CARED. He worked ridiculous hours - his waiting room packed (and he would tell us to sneak in the back door to avoid them) - he worked half the year for free because the system wouldn't allow him to bill any more. And he made house calls. <br /><br />There wasn't even standing room at his funeral.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-85699747919295138102012-04-25T06:28:21.653-04:002012-04-25T06:28:21.653-04:00YES!
