My Dad's advice is one I pass on to my 3 sons is similar.
"You'll never achieve what you don't try."
I remember him saying that as I was attempting to reassemble the rear axle on my sister's pinto that I broke while "learning" to drive a stick @ 16. I would 'o beat that Vega TOO!
He'd seen me taking it apart and struggling with it as the milk crates were sagging trying to support the car w/o jack stands.
He came out and was bailing me out with a helping hand when he dropped another pearl on me, "You make your own luck, think ahead and plan ahead. You may find yourself in a world a shit some day, but wouldn't be a bit easier for you if you a had a idea already for how to get out of it?"
Anyway we got the car back together before my sister returned from her long w/e at the shore.... she was never the wiser and doesn't read this forum.
You know, I'm proof reading this and realize that was the same car that I later broke the shift lever. Man I should have had a Jack Kramer talking abotu "guiding" the shifter not "Slamming" the shifter...
OBTW that car was totaled during my freshman year in college...
Yeah I was driving...
@#$%^& what a difference 30 years make!
