Working With Your Hands

In a time of technology and college degrees, we have lost the ability for our young people to work with their hands. They have lost the ability to learn a basic skill set. I taught all my children that if you can work with your hands, you can always provide for your family. The ability to work a 10 hour day on projects that require hands-on work is the best way to teach and achieve success. I noticed on many projects in the past, that most young people are not able to work a full day that requires skill and strength. This includes young people that work out and are great athletes. In fact, the great athletes seem to be some of the ones that quit first. They trained their bodies to play a sport but have never learned to work with their hands. The ability to learn a skill set at a young age will teach children to pursue many areas of business that may become more profitable than going to college.
