popsjumper 2 #10 January 15, 2008 I have mastered all the skills necessary to become a great trash collector. I have learned that when the powers-that-be don't give shit, I'm wasting my time if I give a shit. Listening to my elders. If I fall down, I can pick myself back up. Humility. Anybody that lands on a gas station HAS to have humility and a good sense of humor. Driving a bus filled with screaming meemies all going full-tilt at the same time. Patience...nah, I don't have that skill yet.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

eeneR 3 #18 January 15, 2008 I have learned that I can have fear, but fear cannot have me. This equates to having excellent risk analysis and taking calculated risks Coupled with the ability to think clearly and effectively in highly critical situations makes me a great candidate for a fast pasted critical environment.

lawrocket 3 #22 January 15, 2008 Skydiving GREATLY assists me in my career. I am ALWAYS nervous before appearances, etc. Heck, in my first jury trial I lost 8 pounds in two weeks - sometimes a wreck. But, nothing has scared me like my skydives. Nothing has ever made me pucker like that. And I think of the techniques to calm myself prior to it. "Jeez, I've hung on to the outside of an airplane at 13,000 feet and let go. This is nowhere NEAR that scary." And it helps with preparation and practice. What can go wrong? What will I do if this happens? What about this? Along with the military, skydiving helped make me a great, "What if" thinker. Plan, prepare, practice, jump, assess, pull, assess, land, say to self, "You're fucking nuts." My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #24 January 15, 2008 In the working world lots of things are "emergencies" and people get all stressed about them. To me, an emergency is going through 1500 feet with nothing above your head. Everything else is just a problem. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
