Tell you what deary, I’ve found it’s my attitude and aptitude that got me where I am today. I find that a lot of folks are where they are today because of the same things. However, I have also found that a lot of folks got to where they are today by having enough attitude to make up for a lack of aptitude. Some folks, also, have gotten where they are with the wrong attitude, and no aptitude, simply because someone with a quota to meet looked no further than “Race” on the application.
My retort was at the self-loathing female in your post, not to you. I’m certain you figured that out, but just in case we have some DUmpers lurking around, I figured I’d make that clear.
