Considering the junk DNA and family life I came from, I couldn't be prouder of where I am. Of course, because of those things there is a lot of self doubt that I'm constantly fighting, but I try to maintain a confident demeanor. I deal with a lot of very successful people on a daily basis and it can be very intimidating, but I try to look at it as I wouldn't be in position to deal with those people if I wasn't somewhat passable as a man.
I've always looked at is as if you're doing better for your family and society than your parents did, you're at least making progress. My sons will be even better than me without a shadow of a doubt, so I'm happy with my overall standing in life. As the old saying goes, all you can do is all you can do. If you're doing that, you have nothing to be ashamed of.
