Some time ago, when I was a wee pup, I was filling out applications for scholarships to pay my way into the very prestigous public colleges here in the great state of Iowa.
To my embarassment, I found the grantors had a tendency to overstate my accomplishments, or so I thought, in the write ups accompanying the awards.
Perception is reality. I think most of us have a tendancy to be modest and understate our abilities, but in reality, we are go getters and more active in our interests than the 90% of the population that suffers life as mere spectators.
I caught the tail end of the show last night- the quote about plasma cutting was amusing, as well as the sheer look of joy that comes from wielding the torch. It reminded me of My younger brother who is also absolutely enamored with the plasma cutter and welding. Metal is magic.
congrats.
