I needed to fix the door latch on my daughter’s very old Toyota Sienna. So of course, I quickly ran to the wisest person I know to ask for advice – Captain YouTube. I shuffled through a few videos and found what I wanted. Then of course I went to Amazon and ordered the necessary part.
Then there was a problem. It was for the wrong door. (I know, I never claimed to be mechanically inclined – just cheap). The part I reordered in the green that looked like it would match my daughter’s car did not.
Anyhow, it worked – it opened the door and added a nice two-toned effect to that side of the car.
The point is sometimes we are, as Ben Franklin could have said, “penny wise and pound foolish.”
Sometimes, it is good to learn things on our own. But if we are to become really good at something — let me put in a shameless plug – we need help.
Maybe a coach. Not for your home minivan repairs.
But maybe for your next speech.
