Work smarter, not harder. Getting that in my head is a constant battle but pays off when I focus on it. I’ve seen it over and over again. I’ve busted my tail just to lose money but then, I’ve turned around and cleaned up with no more effort than an email and a good idea.
It makes me realize thought is energy. A machine can crank out the labor but the gain is going to whomever is pushing the buttons.
Not that the goal is cruising by without ever hitting a lick but distinguishing which licks really count.
Think about it. You might be busting your butt and still sometimes can barely make ends meet, while someone else is kickin’ it in the Bahamas because they came up with ‘pet rocks’!
I guess what I’m saying is what’s mission critical is learning to focus your energies in the right places. That’s going to take putting your mind to work on such things during the daily grind instead of daydreaming about your high school football days and how you can’t wait for the weekend. Life is your creation.Work smarter, not harder. Getting that in my head is a constant battle but pays off when I focus on it. I’ve seen it over and over again.

I highly regard Eric’s opinion but I’ve read too many differing ones from engineers with phds after their names. The Mobile 1 website runs through a list of ‘myths’ about synthetic oil…but then again, they’re selling oil. Its a lot like the whether Seafoam really works or not debate.
So I’m just going with my unacredited instincts. Engines can rack up 300k now days when, once upon a time they were ready for a rebuild at 90k. Besides superior engineering and metal alloys I think that has a lot to do with new oils. So I run the synthetics. Also, and it may be psychosomatic, my beaters just feel pluckier when I run them. …that ‘happy car’ feel when you just change your oil.
What would make an interesting video are oil filters and those magnets they put on them. Those are topics that really get people pissy and cutting old frams in half…lol

I guess in your country things don’t change as quickly. That has its advantages. Gives you time to adjust.

Consider television sets. When I was a child they had “television repairmen”. Remember those guys?
But I imagine the next generations will be running around in something very different than cars. Some sort of little personal mobility modules that don’t even have four wheels any more.
That’s probably a good thing though. Ever notice there are more cars than people now days? I’ll pull up somewhere thinking the place is packed with a dozen cars out front, and there will only be three people inside. What’s up with that?
I see that as something thats going to change in a dramatic way. We think cars will never go away but thats what I used to say about rock n’ roll.
But yeah, sooner or later we’ll be buying our vehicles at Best Buy and ordering parts off Newegg.
