Use real tools
Years ago, my mother gifted me a lovely set of pink tools. For the very-lacking handy girl that I was. They didn’t stay with me long and seemed like more of a gag gift than something useful. Currently, I have a fully useful box of tools that get used when necessary. The bigger needs get handled by the paid professionals. Expeditious and value driven. Time is money after all. But there are ordinary needs in life that require mechanics who specialize. It’s a pleasure to know that. And be willing to do so. Humans can be a little reticent to use professionals. But we often need them and have to overcome whatever holds us back from thoughts that rely on time changing circumstances or improvement coming down from the skies. Hope is nice but it can’t do it all. But mechanics don’t just wear blue overalls with their names printed on the pocket. They don’t have greasy hands and fingernails either. They use computers and diagnose properly. They are more akin to doctors and that is why they seem as if they are in disguise nowadays. It’s great when things change, and we get to notice it with a little smile. All mechanics deserve more respect.
Fix me up
Option #1: What have you repaired lately?
Option #2: How can you respect the mechanics around you?
Option #3: Is there any reason to get new tools?
That’s it. After you choose the option that best describes your mechanical needs, take a few minutes to describe why you chose that option and what action, if any, may come next.
