Besides the calm soft spoken tone of voice. Your ' life lessons" remind me of the little tidbits of information my uncle would always share. Wanted or not. Good or bad he was never wrong. "How do you expect anyone to tale you serious if you can't even get dressed properly..." That gem ia referring to wearing a belt.. since a child about 40ish years now. Needed or not you wont find me out in public without a belt. If there are belt loops. Im wearing one.
It's those little things, isn't it? Like the saw blade incident. It was easy to say "well, the carbon fiber is going to destroy it anyway, so just a cheapie is fine," but it turns out the cheapie couldn't even finish the job (an old worn out, but quality, saw blade cut through it like butter off camera). It's so easy to overlook the little things, the decisions, just what's happening around you. It's such a trivial example of how little choices can make big differences, but there it is!
