They don't work on sheets of steel like gymnists. Trust me. Humble yourself and start taking adult gymnastics classes.
MarkP4--
This story could relate to all of life--not just a particular field or aspect of it.
Seems like the bigger of the two always make
the most common mistakes. By bigger, I mean those who overestamate themselves:
Schooling does not equal education.
I have seen many a university graduate think they are superior to others because of their schooling just to be brought down by the wisdom of the "uneducated".
Bulk and mass does not equal strenth.
Your experience you told about in the story above tells that.
If a person would just slow down and listen, instead of reacting with over confidance(sp?)
and taking down your gaurd, would'nt a person accomplish more?
