My Life of High Adventure (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Contains a series of adventures eventually culminating with my final one of gaining PhD. The book covers my life in two countries, served in two Air Forces, Gained qualifications from three Universities in three different countries. With each adventure there is a challenge, the bigger the adventure, the bigger the challenge. It covers my life from birth, my job selections, my Air Force and Sporting careers and my educational experiences at University and school teaching. It not only shows the challenges I had but also the many successes. It could serve as an example of a person leaving school at the age of 14 without any qualification because of a disrupted schooling during the War in London but was all able to still embark on personal adventures to overcome any problems of the past and gain much success. It is rather like a traditional story with the hero after much struggling wins the prize and the fair maiden and lives happily ever after. This is what my life is like and my book tries to convey the struggles for success but coming out on top . Any one reading my 'What's Next' book could also find this one very helpful in showing what can be done from a low start.

Autor

The author has gained three University degrees including a PhD seems to have it made for him, or is brilliant, lucky, or have lived in a time or place where achievements were easy to obtain. This is far from the truth and the following account of his life up to the present time should be an encouragement for you particularly if you do not have a record of success. I was born in London, having good and loving parents and lived most of my childhood in Essex, an eastern part of London. My schooling, or lack of it, during World War II was completed under conditions in which very little learning was accomplished, most of us wondered and were more concerned as to whether we would be alive at the end of the day. In 1946 I joined the RAF (Royal Air Force) as a trainee to become a Physical Training Instructor, eventually to be retained as a staff instructor on the training school. It was there that my learning desire took root and is still with me his day, at the age of 91.
