"A great pleasure in life is doing what others say you cannot."

From when I can I remember I suffered from a very bad stammer. It affected me making friends. And school was just a nightmare - the days I played truant were to numerous to count, the teachers were no help at all :-(

But you know what, I beat it, beat it good :-)

I beat it so good that I got in to the Royal Navy, So when anyone says to you - "You can`t"

YOU CAN!
