THAT ability in itself is a great thing and not anyone can do that. Indeed we are a collective of talented people who simply share some things with a circle of friends.
We study what we find interesting and because it is interesting to ME, I will then pursue learning on that thing, whatever it may be.
For example, later in life, I was being used more and more in ministry at Church and I felt the need to learn more how to minister to people and be more help to the Pastor of the Church. SO I went to Bible School to study more and learn about Pastoring and more about some areas of The Bible I had not spent enough time learning. So I have a degree in Religious Education. I could not be successful in Business without knowing Business so I went to night school to get my MBA.
This went well with my engineering degrees and the rest of my life is pretty much history. I use that knowledge learned and acquired presently in consulting.
I cannot build a house. I don't want to run all the electric lines, learn all the building codes, run the mechanicals, do the Carpentry or roofing or masonry work either. SO each of us has different areas that others do not. We are part of a puzzle that FITS together.
A handy and skilled person like yourself is not any notches lower on the totem pole.
I consider myself to be the least of anyone.
NACL and De's children with their talented minds and curiosity to achieve more in areas that interest them are really great news for all us retiring. They have to take OUR places just as my daughters have acheived in their respective fields.
I have two kids with DOCTORATE degrees. My oldest completed her PHD this summer... Micro Biology.
She is an advanced sciences teacher at The HIGH SCHOOL of over 3,000 students... She can now go and do anything in her field she wants, including university if she wanted to.. It's up to her.
The great thing is when your kids grow up and are smarter than yourself... THAT is what I prayed for before they were born. I got the answer to that request...
I am a blessed man. Grateful also....
SO HAPPY to hear about all the talented youngsters that are coming behind us. Gives me hope... And JOY....
Praise God for the Builders and mechanics !!!
My Best,
