There Are Many Skills...

...that I will never have.   I've accepted that.  This skill is surely amongst them!  Via my lovely bride:

The Mechanic and the Surgeon...

Ah, I need a good one like this, but for programmers...

A Honda mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Honda when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?”

The cardiologist, a bit surprised walked over to where the mechanic was working on a Honda. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, ”So Doc, look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired or replaced anything damaged, and then put everything back in, and when I finished, it worked just like new. So how is it that I make $24,000 a year and you make $1.7M when you and I are doing basically the same work?

The cardiologist paused, leaned over, and then whispered to the mechanic ... “Try doing it with the engine running.”

Can You Imagine?

Can you imagine how much skill and practice went into acquiring this ability?


For this young man's sake, I just hope he can somehow use this in whatever career he's aiming for – if not directly, then at least as practice becoming expert...
