A friend once asked me what qualities were needed for SAS. I would say to be self-motivated and resilient to be calm, yet have the ability to smile when it is grim to be unflappable, be able to react fast and to have an ‘improvise, adapt and overcome’ mentality.

Time and experience have taught me that fame and money very rarely go to the worthy, by the way - hence we shouldn't ever be too impressed by either of those impostors. Value folk for who they are, how they live and what they give - that's a much better benchmark.
