One facet of situational awareness is knowing ones strengths as well as ones limitations. One hundred percent confidence can be a dangerous thing.
Was cleaning out some desk drawers and came across this quote:
"When anyone asks me how I can best describe my experience in nearly forty years at sea, I merely say, uneventful. Of course there have been winter gales, and storms and fog and the like. But in all my experience, I have never been in any accident...or any sort worth speaking about. I have seen but one vessel in distress in all my years at sea. I never saw a wreck nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort."
Captain Edward J Smith, RMS Titanic
