When I had my Porsche business, we were doers. We engineered things. We built things. We fixed things. We got things done.

After I retired, I took up volunteer teaching and raising kids, we were doers. We engineered things. We built things. We fixed things. We got things done.
My kids know carpentry, plumbing, electrical, auto mechanics and (consequently) far more than their college degrees.
…and it has paid off in their lives.

The other day, my roommate came home and the door panel nearly fell off the inside of his driver's door. I asked him what the problem was and he said that he was going to take it to the dealer to have it fixed.

It took me 30 seconds with a screwdriver to re-align the plastic clips and pop the panel back on. He was ready to spend dealer rates to have that fixed. Incredible.
