Chris Head Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I know someone who is trained and qualified to do what this person wants to do, has the brain, the temperament, the money to equip and the location to work in, but fears failure, thus losing precious life time. I don't understand why? Which is why I ask the question.The only tool I regularly cut myself with is a Silky Gomtaro, a Japanese hand saw...bizarre or what? Great saw tho!

Dick Smith Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 I don't know why people do that, but I agree that some do. I see it a lot in kids, perhaps it's a lack of confidence. I tend to spend a while thinking about things - and then rush into them like a bull at a gate. For me the thinking and planning is a lot of the enjoyment - for example I spent a whole middle management meeting this evening working out different ways of making a case to hold my router cutters and plug cutters. I'm quite happy with what I've come up with, and if I didn't live in a suburban semi I'd be plying a router as we speak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I wonder if we're equally envious of each others worlds Dick? Daily excitement and adventure vs safety and security. A world without rules, bosses or safety vs the steady dedication, plod and security of a lifetime of being in the system? Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 What's to 'plod' when every day and every person is different?I'll leave now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 The 'plod' of mapped out carreers and rules and regulations as opposed to the unknowns of people who don't have set rules and carreer paths Mary.
