Poor Little Cone Style

68GTXMan, now there's an engineer who has enough self confidence to know that no one knows everything. My son is currently studying to be a mechanical engineer, I hope my son always has enough brains to know that he can never know everything. Sometimes the old timers (and sometimes younger folks) know a better way. And sometimes it doesn't even make sense...BUT IT WORKS!!! Of all things man has created and accomplished, the only things anyone cares about are those things that actually work!!!

Thank you Mr. Treblig. Tell your son that an old ME recommends that he look to those who can jury-rig a setup if he wants to see a simple way to solve a problem. Most times when I look at a problem, I try to figure out the easiest and cheapest way to solve it. Then when I get the good fortune to bounce ideas off a good jury-rigger (usually my trusted neighbor, a maintenance supervisor) I discover even simpler and better ways to solve the same problem. No one individual knows everything! Even Thomas Edison hired hundreds of inventors to develop the majority of inventions that he later took credit for.

We all should display more humbleness in our selves. There are always smarter people out there (and even they make mistakes too).

Cheers!
