In the United States Naval Academy there is group known as the " 2% Club " . Apparently , out of all the midshipmen entering with a girlfriend or boyfriend only 2% of these relationships still exist by graduation.
Here in England Erica Frazier has set up the " 2% Club " to help senior women raise their profile in their quest to secure the senior corporate positions. And back across in the USA , the " Phoenix 2% Club " claim that only 2% of people will reach their financial potential , but what makes this club so unique is that it is the only one that works on the " inner game ". Here the focus on training is how to recognise your current financial blueprint , so you can identify it in order to change it .
Another group of 2%-ers one cannot forget is Mensa, which caters for the top 2% with acceptionally big IQ's . This non-profit worldwide organisation has only one requirement : members must have IQ's higher than those of 98% of the population.
However , in the context of Bridge Clubs one might come across other smaller groups of " 2%-ers " , who are those brave few souls , who are prepared to stand up and be counted , challenging and fighting for what they believe to be right, fair and just. These " dissenters " seem only to have one objective , which is to resist or stop the perceived or actual abuse of power , so often exercised by committees tainted by nepotism and/or despotism.
Indeed, to wear the 2% -er badge in these circumstances is to wear a badge of courage , always with head held high ......with honour...... and most of all..... with pride.
