Right man--right job

Right man—right job

Mike Holmes—Canadian builder, but more importantly he goes in when builders fail. Many times in new homes things are built shoddily.

People don't want to know how much you know as they want to know how much you care.

The best man for the job are  not necessarily men of leadership, but men of ability and caring enough to do the job and do it rightly.

If you care enough: 1. You will do the job to the best ability you can    2. You will improve every time you do the same job.

The job starts with the foundation. If the foundation is crooked what you build on it will not last,

it will always give you trouble. What you build on it after the foundation is easily changed, but the foundation is very difficult to change once the building is built. The foundation needs to be built with

the right nails and screws and lumber if it is to last. But even these, put together wrongly, won't last.

The foundation has to have a leader with a plan.

An alligator can be caught with a hook and a heavy line, but even these lines have only so much strength and can be broken. Holding on to that line and the gator will bang the side of the boat jumping at you like crazy because he doesn't want to be caught. Stay away from those teeth that are trying to chomp down on you or they will put you in a world of hurt miles away from 911. Likely you're dead or at least a broken bone or three but still a shot to a quarter size opening in the back of the head and the gator's dead. I wouldn't want to be those guys, because its best when there are two in that small boat, but still there is a right man or two for that job.

The TV has so many interesting introductions to jobs, it didn't have in my youth. Dirty jobs with mike Rowe, Alaskan bush people with the Brown family living in the cold of Alaska way off the grid and loving it, or perhaps you want to be a part of the Kilcher family homesteading in the same state for several generations. Then there's the wild life officer arresting people for taking fish illegally. He said “I can't believe I get paid to do this” So much to chose from.

On the other hand it also has commercials, many more, showing you a problem and in 30 seconds or less giving you the solution.

We find still another Alaskan man who loves to be alone mainly with his dogs, taking care of them, 

but also training them for the Iditarod not me, far too much cold.    We find a woman living alone at a remote airport who fills the tanks of those planes in her area needing fuel, but also taking care of herself by hunting for her food on the surrounding tundra, not me, far too much snow.
