Neal: How do you or I build a system without knowing how it works? |

Mark: Great! I have you where I want you! How did you drive a car at first, when you had not yet mastered constructing one with your own hands? How did you ride in a car for the first time without knowing yourself how to drive? How did you fly in an airplane for the first time, not having constructed it yourself? How do you enjoy looking out of a glass window not knowing fully the manufacturing process? How do you wipe your butt with toilet paper, not having made it with your own hands? How do you use a computer, not having made all the hardware with your own hands? On and on and on I could go! |

Don't you get it? You can't build a system and don't have a system so a system can't exist for you? Wrong. You don't want a system, you want control. I don't know why some things work that I use, but I use them. I have faith that after years of seeing systems kick my butt that I can do no better on my own with discretion. You want to make it. You want to build it. You want what you want, but what matters to me is the final results. I don't care what process or method or amount of control I have along the way. You are different. I bet if you took a test, you would find that you would be suited for law enforcement. There is nothing wrong with that, but recognize what your end goals are and get there. |

When it comes to systems and software programming and mathematics, I concede that I know little to nothing about them. Humble is above where I stand regarding these. Stupid is more like my self-assessment of those capabilities. |

I am no smarter than you in these areas, but I am resourceful and I don't give up. |
