Thank you everyboday for some interesting feedback. It is dearly apreaciated! I still feel motivated as ever, and are 
crunshing hours infront of my books. My dad use to say that we have to stay humble, which it seems in the pen-test 
world might help. Because there will always be somebody smarter then you. 
The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear. I have the reputation of asking interesting questions, so I will 
be asking a few on my journey. Please note that I do some rtfm before asking a question :-)
