Modesty

Why is it when we are younger we seem to know everything?

When you listen to teenagers talk you want to say "shut up."

They are a little like David Brent on BBC's The Office - obnoxious know-it-alls who think they are comedians.

As you move into your 20s you are knocked down a few pegs. Perhaps you're not as comedic, but you still know a lot, even though life has taught you some tough lessons.

Does modesty come with age? I guess there is only one way to find out and that is to get old.

I'm far less modest now than when I was a teenager. I'm in the best shape of my life, I'm dating an amazing woman, and I have a good job and plan for the next few years that is slowly falling into place. Life is Good, and I'm even better!

The Mark I knew in high school was also confident and had one of the coolest jobs in our graduating class.

Me, in high school, I worked at a grocery store.
