Today at work I was involved in installing pine tongue and groove paneling on a high vaulted ceiling. There was a crew of four people working on this project and we got a lot done. I contrasted this to doing the same job on my own home, by myself. What an incredible difference! I don't know how many times I climbed up and down scaffolding with an armful full of boards before I completed the job, but it was several. Today only a few trips were made up and down because there were installers up high and a cutman on the ground delivering boards to the installers.
I bring all this up for a reason. We may be doing the same work as others, but how are we doing it? Am I on my own? Am I working with someone who has the same interests? In many of our pursuits, would they go better if we had a little help? Rather than trying to be Superman(as I have done most of my adult life)we should find like-minded people to work with towards accomplishing our goals. The work will progress much faster and will be dynamic in it's growth. We all have a lot to do, so let's team up and get it done.
Just a thought from the chain saw carpenter.
