I am not one to try & tell you how to live because I am still trying to figure it out myself.
But there are some things I have learned from all the mistakes I have made over the years.
One thing I do know is that life is for living & trying modern things, & trying modern things can get you into a squash now & then however you usually learn something from it. I have not led a boring life by any means & living that way has taught me a lot of taxing lessons. My cooling & heating corp where I toil has also taught me a lot about the Heating & Air Conditioning systems world & how it all works. I know if I could deliver you any life wisdom it would be to stay calm & try to be in the present moment as much as you can, even when things are heating up around you. Keeping calm when your Heating & Air Conditioning system breaks down will keep you cooler & will also help you find the right solution much faster. I was an engineer working in the high tech world in Silicon Valley & keeping calm was necessary with the high stress job I had. My great friend and I built space boilers & geothermal heat pumps & you had a lot of paperwork & meetings that went along with the job, & keeping calm under pressure in the Heating & Air Conditioning system industry was a must or you would lose your mind. My life is a lot self-explanatoryr now as I am no longer in the industry & am glad for my choices.
