@NaturalEyes Dear Troy,
My story of becoming myopic is spread out through years of emails written over the last 25 years. Open heart surgery in Dec of 2016 has forced me to focus first on returning to full health. Progress is slow and steady.
@Toastmasters Knowledge & experience will always trump confidence, hands down. Having said that, the one who can best communicate their knowledge, experience, & confidence has a definite advantage. Newcomers may have an advantage when it comes to starting salary though.
