I became pretty good with a skill saw! I helped construct some foundations as a young lad, and worked roofing jobs here and there, but in truth, I was miserable. I am not a fan of manual labor. I prefer to work with my mind, utilizing problem solving techniques.

That being said, I'm am not against manual labor. It does derive a sense of accomplishment when you complete construction.

I also heard a quote along the way sometime in my life, it goes like this :

When the body suffers, the soul flourishes.

As a man who served as a Marine, and busted my ass with construction to make ends meet, I understand very well the meaning of this quote. Such profoundness, encapsulated in a few short words.
