I chimed in on this because I believe the core of the topic was “Why would people lie about their achievements?” If Brian Williams had simply been immodest, that wouldn’t have bothered me at all–lying is another thing.
As I mentioned, I enjoy sharing, as well as hearing about any and all accomplishments others have made. I don’t consider it immodest to share that information with others, and most people I know don’t either. We learn from each other, help each other make better decisions, etc., etc.
Scaredy, you are about as far from a failure as anyone could get. The things you’ve shared on this forum about your life and family are at the top of the “A List,” as far as I’m concerned.
