"He could fix Almost anything." -- Tombstone

"My father was not a perfect man. One quality I always admired in him, though, was his conviction that no job or task was beyond his ability. There were things he didn't want to do, but nothing he didn't think he could do. He was right a surprising amount of the time. When he took on a task, he wanted the job done right. He might bodge together something, but he'd always say "well with this and that it would be better next time". He'd fit the job to the constraints he was given and do the best with what he had on hand. In a world where compromise seems to be a dying art and people are focused on being right and not always on being better, I think we can all learn a lesson from his example." -- Jason Roberts
