Knowledge Void….They say in any profession that skills and knowledge is the key to success. I completely disagree.While they are very useful important tools to have in your toolbox. It takes something completely different to push you to the top. Something that comes from the very depths of your soul. That “something” is the thing that gives you the internal fortitude to push yourself. You can have all the knowledge in the world, but you need something to push you through when times are tough. Or when you have self doubt, or your tired, or burnt out, or your personal life isn’t roses, and weighing heavy on your focus. Just having Knowledge won’t do shit for you.This was my week this week. I have been trying all to make some copper pieces. The quality of the parts was just not up to snuff. That small failure totally stifled my whole week. I ended up making two more sets of dies and six parts. Not until 4pm today did I finally get One part that was satisfactory. That last two hours of my work day today was the best work I did all week. I for sure have the knowledge to do this type of work. It just took the whole week to figure out the combination to unlock that “something” in myself to push and get it right.So when I see people say “Man I wish I could come work with you for a day so I can learn everything you know”. I just chuckle to myself. Because I can pass on knowledge, but I can’t transfer that “Something”.That’s up to you.I will finish the second part I need tomorrow.#jessejames (at West Coast Choppers)https://www.instagram.com/p/CPb3b5vnKeh/?utm_medium=tumblr -- source link
