When I was a child and, ok, even into my 20’s, I literally would never try anything that I didn’t know I could do. Now I know most people would think that was absolutely nuts, but it somehow made sense to me lol! I really don’t know when the switch flipped, but at some point I decided that I should try new things even if I had absolutely NO IDEA what I was doing. Enter pen turning, and public speaking, and a host of other things that I have had some success with, some failure, but most importantly a lot of learning.
FIRST LESSON: try new stuff, Patrice. Unless you are trying that new thing with chainsaws, you are probably going to be ok!
