Welding is not that special of a skill.

This has to be true; all the union guys at the plant say so.

Being alive at 90 would be a success to me. And a great personal relationship with God.

It depends on how you define "successful". I think most here are interpreting it career wise, so sticking with that if I had to pick absolutely one thing it'd probably be intelligence. Morons do not normally make it very far career wise.

And I don't necessarily mean just book smart. Intelligence to me means being aware of your surroundings, and being able to think critically about situations. If you have that, you can pretty much do anything.


I think you are describing wisdom, not intelligence. There is a difference. For example, I think Obama is intelligent, but sorely lacking in wisdom.

Welding is THE ONLY SKILL. Everything else is just hobbies practiced by children. If a man can perfect the art then he ceases to be a man and becomes God of all metal.

If you're serious, I am open to having lunch and telling you what I know.

There are a few actually, faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money.

Focus is similar to my selection.

If you can do it, focus/pay attention, life is infinitely easier.

Logical, except that everyone with a TD account is already successful anyway.
