Way back when I was a college student, before I ever took flying lessons, I was hopping a ride in a Piper Apache. We were delayed from taking off by weather and I was getting a bit antsy. The pilot calmly told me "There are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are no old bold pilots." Ten years later when I finally did learn to fly I kept those words firmly in mind at all times.
