Accomplishments.

Tonight, I went to an investiture for a Judge. Really a nice program. His Dad and I were Army buddies. Terrific family--everybody made a speech, extolling how great the investituree was, which was true.  

Fine young troop, the now Judge. The rub always for me and it doesn't take away from his accomplishments; but, he had every advantage. Dad, a doctor; Mom, school teacher. Only child. 

What about those kids that have no advantage. If we compare, just thinking out loud, philosophically speaking, the double admiration goes to those who make it without having the advantages.
