Relying on your wits alone
I was talking to this guy last night who is able to do anything with his hands from sewing to building anything. He will always find work because of his skills – he can do anything, he can building anything, he can make anything work.
One of the things that has been the most frustrating over the last week has been in this situation with my computer where I can’t fix anything, I can’t even pay to have someone fix it because it is even above the genius level of the Apple bar, or the senior techs from Apple – you start feeling completely out of control that if the geniuses don’t know what to do then WTF?
My friend last night said he never touches computers. It’s the one thing that he doesn’t have any use for – he lives by his wits, and he said once you get to a point where you are relying on something you don’t know how to fix or create, you’re in trouble.
I concur.
